@@kelly_savage That’s awesome and so do I! I love the books for the mass creativity. So many stories of different events and perspectives happening at once. Characters of unshakable courage and honour. In a dark time of brothers killing brothers. It has the typical sci-fi space ships and Aliens but a strong fantasy element that surprises readers of literal hell demons invading.

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

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.

I would say yes if it’s lord of the rings and similar books because they’re longer so they tend to be pretty pricey to buy outright. I’d recommend getting a free trial which usually gets you a free book and then just put a reminder in your calendar to cancel it, worst that happens is you get to listen to fellowship of the ring for free! You can now also use Spotify for audiobooks if you’re the admin of a premium account so that’s another option

Can I pay for membership only when I need, or do I need to compulsory purchase membership each month

Hmm it’s not compulsory you can leave at any time but it would be quite an awkward process because it just rolls over on a monthly basis and you’d have to rejoin and cancel every month

Can anyone tell me can you listen to any book you want just with the membership. In other words if you don’t want to keep it long term or buy it. Can you listen to any book in their catalog as long as you are an active member?

@kelly_savage 2 жыл бұрын
No you can't. There's a selection of books you can listen to free with a membership but they're not great. A standard membership just gives you the one book which you effectively buy and keep forever. Hope this helps!

As this is NOT like Netflix I assume you can you still listen the books after ending the membership? Just like you bought them. Right?

Yeah you’ve essentially bought the book so you can keep listening even if you don’t have a membership anymore

@@kelly_savage Thanks for the reply. I am just listening to my first audio book, started a trial membership today: "Michael Crichton - Prey". In parallel I try to follow the lines in the real book which I bought a while ago but haven't read so far. I am doing this to improve my listening and pronunciation skills - I am German. Unfortunately the audible version is significantly shortened, sometimes whole paragraphs are even replaced by a totally new summarising sentence. This is not working out as I wanted. I am somehow disappointed now. Are all audible versions shortened? I bought a bunch of Robin Cook and Michael Crichton books in the original English version and actually I planned to "work them through" one after the other.

That’s really strange I don’t know why they would be shortened unless it just depends on the version? I’ve had bits cut out before but only if it’s like a diagram or picture or something that wouldn’t make sense to talk through

Haven’t looked into it yet, but it seems there is a « Netflix of books » for Audible, and that’s Kindle Unlimited. From what I read, you can read and/or listen to all the ebooks/audiobooks you want without buying them not keeping them. Basically streaming for books…

@@kelly_savage I heard from recent info that it included audiobooks… but anyway, I then watched two other videos (one being from you) explaining that only a limited selection of books was on offer… which to me kills it, since I want very specific books that are unlikely to be part of the Unlimited offer (would still need to check that fact). I mean come on, music streaming services boast themselves of having virtually everything and not just select titles, so why not the same for books (if not for profit)?

So what happens if you finish a book before the month is up? You gotta wait till the month is up in order for you to get another credit so you may listen to another audio book? I finish audio books in 3 days that means I’ll have another 28 days to wait till they give me another audiobook credit.

Yep that’s exactly it. You can purchase more credits or upgrade to a plan with more credits in a month but obviously that means it’s more expensive 💰

Better deal is to just purchase the kindle book and use the spoken content features built in on the Iphone (maybe other phones have this also). Then u get the book (ability to highlight etc) as well as the audiobook without paying for them separately or paying extra bc u got both

I have been using audiobook for 6 months. I have been able to return 2 books. The one thing you have to return it within the first or second chapters. You also have to give them a reason. I wanted more books but had no more monthly credits left so I bought 3 credits for $30 dollars Canadian.

PLEASE for the love of God do not abuse the return function. It takes a LOT of money to get an audiobook made as an author and most audiobooks are from authors just like me. Audible gives us a very small cut and the worst part is the return is on US. We take the hit, NOT audible!! I had so many scammers/listeners listen to whole book then return it just to redo that process. Do no be that person! thank you

since im truck driver i dont have much time to read books which i love so i was using play books for audiobooks. few people have told me to switch to audible. now im digging around trying to figure things out and i still dont get it. there are few book im thinking to buy in playstore and they combined cost 42euros. on amazon they would cost 100usd but since they all sell seperately (5 books) thanks to subscription i can count one as free which would be 80usd. i saw that if you are subscribed you get 30% discount so every book would cost 14usd each which is 56usd which makes around 47 euros. but i would have to pay for sub which makes price higher and i next time another "free book" which we can obtain with montly credit will be, well in another month which again would be paid for. am i missing here something. it doesnt seem cheaper to me.

it sounds like playbooks might be cheaper for you then, I think it probably all depends on which books specifically you want and their individual prices but I would keep checking the website because they have sales really often

Actually. It sort of does work like that now. Members now have 1000's of free audio books. As many as you like at the same time. Down load, or even stream direct from Audible with no need to down load any longer. The free titles are good titles too, not the usual dross.
