Thank you all.  I appreciate you insights  on Audible.  I did not realize they 
include dramatiztions, so that might be a nice way for me to use the credits.  
It’s nice to know that they  have a return policy, too.

Subject: Re: why audible?

 

 

I use Audible less now than I did, but there are some books that have a great 
human reader that are not available through BARD or the CD package costs too 
much and is Audible usually has the best price on audio books. Plus, their 
books, listened to with their app, have the best book navigation options of 
other audio books.

Though, as you may have noticed with BARD, they are getting more commercially 
recorded books in their system. So, I always check BARD first before deciding 
to buy an Audible book.

At this point, I probably read more books from Bookshare using Voice Dream 
Reader than any other method.

Some books just are better with a human reader in my opinion.

 

Ultimately, it boils down to personal preference if you want human read books 
and how much you are willing to pay for them.

Enjoy,

Richard

I have the BARD and Kindle apps on my phone and just purchased VoiceDream to 
access my bookshare account.  Many of you also talk about Audible.  I have 
stayed away from  this because I figured I could get plenty of reading material 
for free or at lower Kindle prices, but I found a deal of 3 months of Audible 
for $8.00.  Given what I understand the limitations to be on the number of 
books you buy each month, what is your thoughts on when to buy a book through 
Audible given all the other great ways we  can get books on my phone now?   I 
want to make the most of this trial and figure out how to determine if it’s 
worth continuing a subscription.
