Do you use Audible?? If so... what are you reading at the minute?

[napdragon]

not the Netflix of books lol thanks that all I need to hear 🤷🏽‍♂️

[desolate]

Thanks for explaining it's not like Netflix for Audiobook right off the bat. Thumbs up.

Took me a ridiculous amount of time to find an accurate helpful description on Audible so thank you so much! Everywhere I looked it seemed to be described as "The Spotify of books" which is clearly not the truth 😅 Been using the app a week now since I watched this video and already got through two books! 👍

The first sentence you Said, I was like, yeah I found that out the hard way. Everyone always talks about Audible and says it's so amazing, but no one ever clarified that you can only get 1, or maybe 2 books per month. I did not know this until I joined and had to find out for myself. Audible is basically acting like a middle man for buying the book because the cost of the membership per month is around the cost of 1 discounted book. I'm not mad because I'll at least finish one book before moving on to the next. But I just fear even after sampling, I might end up not liking the book

[clari]

this is the one video in all youtube that explains it well and quickly
thanks 😅

Audible has a nice platform and I find it reasonably priced. It's great if you like collecting your books and having quick access to them. Many local libraries offer the same service at no cost, you may not find every single book available but you'd be surprised how many new books you'll find.

I’ve had Audible for 3 years. I’ve taken breaks, my books are still available to listen to, I collect Sylvia Browne, Shirley MacLaine, Diane Keaton, and many classics
I have been gone over a year, and just got a welcome back price for 3 months
Also you can listen to your books on many devices

[shawz]

Thank you for this - I was wondering how the subscription worked cause I only listen to books on holiday and hadn’t realized that you could buy the books without subscription- so thank you for saving me some money

[nopethataintitchief]

This is what i was actually searching for; whether it was like Netflix or you was led to believe it was like it. Thank you for the vid.

I have been a member 2014, I have 580 books in my Library. Audible has added an “Included” list which are books included in your membership fee. They are a bunch of them and they are for the most part very good.

[cybersoil]

Thank you for the great explanation. Amazon doesn't explain this. I think I'll just rip audiobook MP3s from YouTube and listen to them that way. If Amazon did have an unlimited monthly subscription then I would buy that.

Kelly you missed a few valuable item
1 you can vary the speed. Many books I find that I enjoy much more when I hear it at 0.9 speed. The distortion is minimal and it helps comprehension. Other books or podcast, for me, are better heard at 1.1 speed. Some platform allow speed variations but at 3/4 or 1.5 speeds. That doesn’t work for me.
There a few more positive things I could say but I will pause here. Long time listener my library is 888 books.😊

Have subscribed to Audible recently and found it very reasonable once I got my head around it not being like Netflix. What I did find good value was the £3.00 sale where I purchased another 5 books, saving a lot of money on the original price. Maybe not for everyone but it has certainly increased my exposure to books that would have taken me forever to read as a hard copy.

[ufuk]

Thanks, not being the Netflix of Audiobooks and working with a credit system is enough reason to see it's rubbish. Cheers

[shaka]

Thank you for actually explaining this thing!

[sholae]

Thank you for this great overview of audible! Gives me an accurate understanding of it, happy that you provided an unbiased review with pros and cons, despite having an affiliate link. And so you know what, I am going to use your link to get audible !

[christophchristoph]

Actually you can change your mind you can return your book up to 3 times! I think it's worth it because you get free books and you get to keep one in your library! And keeping one in your library is a big deal for me because I collect them! I occasionally buy and extra book too and the pricing is very fair so that is not a big deal.

[ceegee]

2023 : You CAN return audible books you don’t like and you get your credit back.

[carlossalazar]

I don’t get it so people pay 16 usd a month to get 1 credit which is basically the same as buying a 16usd book every month and to have some aditional discounts? How is that worth it????
