I totally agree with Daniel. I used to get all my books from the CNIB here in Canada and whatever other free sources I could find, but ever since I subscribed to Audible I rarely even use the CNIB any more because of the often much higher quality and better narration of Audible books. Of course another huge advantage is that they have a larger selection and I can usually get new releases as soon as they come out on paper. There definitely is no such announcement with any books I have and I have hundreds. I just wish they would get their act together and let you stream books via the app as well instead of having to download. You can stream on the website, but unfortunately the playback controls don't seem to be accessible. It would be nice if in addition to their regular monthly and annual Gold and Platinum memberships they would maybe offer an unlimited streaming subscription which gives you the option to download a few books at a time for those situations where you want offline access.

The one at the beginning says something like "This is Audible" and then the narrator of the book starts speaking. The one at the end says "Audible hopes you have enjoyed this program". If you decide to join, and if you love to read, I would say you will not regret it, I would suggest you download the iOS app, login using your new Audible Username/E-mail and Password, and evertime you wish to buy a book, go to the site and purchase them from there first. When you've done that, log into the app and the books should appear. If not, you can go into the Settings and refresh your library. Once you've done that, select the "Cloud" tab at the top of the app (this section lists all of the books you've purchased on Audible, doesn't mean that they are all downloaded, they are just the ones on the cloud), then you double tap the one you want and it begins to download. Once it's done, then double tap on the book again and it will start playing. You can even select the "Device" tab beside the "cloud" tab and this will show you the books that are only downloaded onto your device. You can always start with the Gold plan, which gives you one credit a month, and pretty much every book in their library are all one credit. Or if you are a big reader, you can get the Platinuym plan that gives you two credits a month. Again, if you love to read, then I find audiobooks are the way to go. Not that there is anything wrong with reading braille books, it just doesn't keep my attention very long and I spend more time trying to read and understand a paragraph, that I don't enjoy the story. It's even better when you get a great narrator that just brings the book to life. If you are a fan of Star Wars, they have plenty of books and series on Star Wars. I would recommend that you get those narrated by Mark Thompson, in my opinion, he is the best narrator for those stories. Anyways, hope this helps.

I accessed one of their free books on my laptop and tried playing it. I found that every file associated with the book started with a message that said "no adverts". Do the parts of a book which are paid for do this too? I suspect not but wanted to verify this before I spent money on it. thanks.
