            Doug Carpenter I used the 30 day free trial some time ago.

            I find I have enough selection of books using Amazon Prime on my kindle & Borrow Box which is free via your local library. So didn't continue with audible.

            You could try the free audible trial & see what you think of it? πŸ“š

                Yup, I listen to Audible content everyday.

                As well as your monthly credit, there is lots of 'included' content, including books, podcasts and plays. There are regular offers such as Β£3 books and 2 for 1 books.

                You can listen to a sample of a book before buying it to make sure the narration isn't ear torture.

                Do you know that you can borrow eAudiobooks through your library for free?

                Love Ellie.

                  I joined a week or so ago and started to listen to my first book. Unfortunately it lulled me to sleep so I have to start again!

                          I've Cloud Cuckoo Land reserved, due in a few weeks, started All The Light We Cannot See today - fairly convoluted so far, but early days...

                          Just finished The Tattooist of Auschwitz and, before that, The Storyteller (Jodi Picoult), so a WWII theme going on 😏😘😘
