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 to a book again after some time you can just stream it again provided of course you maintain your membership. The idea is a good one and I probably would pay the $25 a month if it could replace my $22.95 a month Audible subscription. I could, after all, listen to 10 books a month for $25 and even if I only listen to 1 book a week it works out to just over $6 a book which is pretty cheap. But as I said before, my trial membership was not the greatest experience as the book I was listening to got pulled when I was half way through. Maybe they have addressed this, but my understanding was at the time that this can happen and there is nothing they can do about it. I also prefer to stay with Audible at this point, first of all they do have a bigger selection of books and secondly the books I buy with my membership credits or by paying extra are mine for life and I can still listen to them even if I cancel my momthly subscription.
