I have to check again, but last time I looked they did not offer the all at once purchase and neither did they offer the Platinum, 2-credit a month subscription for $22.95. But between my credits and the daily deal books as well as the occasional extra promotion I usually find enough. I also have almost a thousand books in my Audible library and many of them are books I like to listen to again every few years. On top of that I don’t listen as much any more since I got married and especially not this past summer when one of my best friends and his wife were visiting Canada for 5 month and they stayed with us a month in the beginning and the 2 month at the end of their time here, then there is the fact that I work 60 to 70 hours a week so listening is usually for the 20 minutes I walk to work and home in the evening and later at night since I usually sleep a fair bit later than my wife.

I have in the past paid $149 for 12 credits, which is usually 12 books, which comes out to about $12.50 per book and you can use them anytime, rather than just once a month. Since our National Library Service is getting more and more of the commercial audio books I did not renew with Audible.

If you can afford $14.95 a month for an Audible Canada membership you then have also access to their daily deal books which are anywhere between $3 to $7 or so Canadian and while not all are books which will interest you, I usually find at least 1 or 2 and sometimes 3 each month which are good books and which I can pick up for a few bucks and I can then use my monthly credit for other books I want. The nice thing is that in the US the Audible Gold membership is $14.95 US and before Audible Canada started this of course translated into $21 or $22 depending on the exchange rate. Audible has kept the Canadian membership price at the same $14.95 except it's now charged in Canadian Dollars. From time to time they also have special sales where a selection of a couple of hundred books are all offered for $5.95 or $6.95 or as just now for the Canadian Thanks-Giving weekend, you can buy two books with 1 credit.

I know the e mail that you are talking about chirp and also the books that they offer. I should point out that this seems to be only for people who live in the US and so if people live out side of the US like in Canada I am ot shure if you are able to pay for the books or not. I have not used the app but do get the news letter. I also feel that wile the books and stuff are good discounts it would be nice if they were offerd in Canadion as well since wile they might be a good discount in USD not so in CAD.

Taylor Sent: October 13, 2019 3:39 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: A Question for All of You Audio Book Lovers Hello Everyone, There is an audio book discount service called Chirp Books.com. I receive a daily email containing recommended audio books that I have found to be excellent. Now, generally speaking, I learn about books from this service, then either download them from Apple Books, Audible, BARD or Over Drive. There website is fully screen reader accessible and they do have an app for iOS in which one can purchase the titles, at the discounted price. Question, has anyone ever actually used the Chirp Books app, with VoiceOver to download and listen to purchased titles?
