They don't seem to have as many books, as audible.

I know the member benefit of 30% is exactly the same as audible. Its
just the expensiveness of trying to get more credits that is a problem
for me. I have placed my membership on hold until I decide to begin
it again. I will write to them. I chose as one of my reasons for
placing my membership on hold as they not having some kind of credit
plan to easily get more credits. Despite the challenges of audible,
it is cheaper in the long run then this service of libro.fm.

Hi Joshua,
Did you write them to ask if they plan to add options?
You get 30% discount as a member, much like with Audible.
I'm not sure what you were expecting other than $15 per credit/book.

Well, I'm going to cancel my membership. The app is really cool. I'd
love more then one book per month, and that is your only credit option
if you don't want to gift yourself credits. That would cost $15 per
credit, and that can add up very fast. I hope you all enjoy the app.
It really is one of the best audio players I've seen. I like it
almost as well as voice dream reader.

I just wanted to say, that I have gotten the one credit plan for
libro.fm.
They have really good email support. Also, the app is very accessible
and
is so easy to use. Once you purchase your book, you download the app to
your phone and login with your user name and password you have created.
Then, on your computer when you go into your library, you will find an
option to downlad a zip file of your book. You can also download the
book
in your app and listen to it that way. That is a very easy process.
The
player has very easy labeled buttons. Try it and I think you will like
it.

sGreetings,
Since Audible has been discussed a lot lately, I wanted to mention an
alternative resource that I am seriously considering.
It is called Libro.fm.
They seem to have everything Audible has, minus the audible originals
of course, at roughly the same price; but you can pick a local
bookstore to support and they get half of the money. They have a
membership that gets you one book a month for $14.99 per month, first
book
free.
They are non-DRM books, so can be played on any player.
I've not started my membership yet because the first book I want to
try is not available yet do to the pandemic. The reader hasn't been
able to go into the studio to record the book, Riviera Gold, by Laurie
R. King. The 16th book in the Mary Russell, Sherlock Holmes series.
Finding the search area of their web site is tricky and I have given
them feedback about the accessibility, and they always respond
quickly; but getting their web designer to make changes may take
longer.
Since I have not actually started my membership, I cannot speak to how
easy it is to get the books either in their app, or as I would likely
due, into Voice Dream Reader.
I've pasted the info about membership below if anyone wants to take
the plunge.

extending it.)" - Edward Herbert
