Hi, I have subscribed to Audible for about 12 years. I love some of the recordings I can get there but not on BARD, such as Neil Gaiman reading his own works and the fabulous full-cast recording of Dracula. I love that you can get some wonderful dramatizations, such as the BBC production of HItchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. They have lots of the Great Courses lectures, which can be fascinating. I like it that they often put out books on the same day they come out in print. I like being able to shared audiobooks with my sighted son, knowing that he can legally use them. And at $15 a month for one book, it's a good deal. Also, they often have deals where they offer 3 books for 2 credits or books for $4.95 a piece, so it can sometimes be quite cheap to explore a new book or get a series.
