Hi Kimber and Kirsten, The books do not belong to you, think of it like Netflix, you pay a monthly subscription fee and you can consume as much content as you want, movies and TV shows in case of Netflix and Audio Books in case of AudioBooks.com. I guess the idea is that if you want to listen

Well, I speed up the playback of my audio books, and I don't find that it keeps me from enjoying a well read book at all. I don't speed it up much, and I'm definitely not trying to crank it up as fast as I can comprehend it, but I do find some readers, even good readers, to be a bit slow. I agree

Hi Raul and others, I tried out AudioBooks.com a while back and the one thing I didn't like was that I started listening to a book and when I was about half way through (a day or 2 after I started) the book was suddenly not available any more. I contacted their support and they apologized
