I tend to listen to audio books on my Victor reader stream, rather than on my Apple devices and have sometimes had difficulties transferring the Audible books to my Stream so I decided to end my subscription to Audible. I started out listening to Audible books when I first became visually impaired about 7 years ago as I was initially unaware of all the other options available to the blind community. When I listen to Audible books that I previously purchased or listen to commercially produced books that appear on BARD, I generally find them very well narrated. I am becoming more used to listening to the computer generated voices on the Bookshare books, but I can imagine that for other people like myself who became visually impaired as adults that listening to the generally well read human narration available on Audible might be a good investment.
