Review: Audible.com

RE: Review: Audible.com By nunley10 (20) Profile Contact I worked for xm radio cancellations for a number of years. I often talked to very angry irate cx whose cc was still charged after the expiration date had expired, so be careful.

Of the 71 titles on their find-a-new-series special, there wasn't one series that interested me. There were one or two series I had already read, I will admit. Guess this is a "dry spell" for me.

The best selection and the website offers great ideas for great listens. It's worth it! Posted on 04/14/2008 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Review: Audible.com By shannon. (Guest Post) If you don't want to use audible, I use my local library, they have tons of books to download for free. I have been doing this for months and it works great for me. Check out your local library. Posted on 04/09/2008 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Review: Audible.com By chretienne (72) Profile Contact I've used them on and off for 5 years or so, but I don't really like them as a company. Here's my quick and dirty take: Pros: selection is unbeaten - they have lots of stuff you won't find anywhere else Cons: they're expensive; they will auto-bill your membership fee without asking; it's easy to get double-charged by accident and hard to get a refund; you have to install special software on your computer My advice: When you sign up, use a credit card that will expire before your year is up, so you'll have a choice in the matter. (Or if you only want one or two items, just buy them at the higher price without joining.) Before buying an audiobook from Audible, check Half.com and your local second hand bookstore for a CD version that you can rip to MP3 and then resell. Check into other free and low-cost alternatives for audio content. There are tons of free podcasts available through iTunes, plus a couple of other Web sites come to mind -- learnoutloud.com, librivox.org. Google for "free audiobooks" to find even more. Also FYI, Audible just got acquired by Amazon, and I'm really hopeful that Audible will begin to take on some of Amazon's traditional customer-friendliness. As of now, I deal with them but only because they have the market cornered on so many things I like. Posted on 04/09/2008 | Report Spam or Abuse
