Are use Audible in part at least for the reason that Sieghart mentioned, cheap credits if you buy them all at once. There is another source for books which doesn’t make you have a membership. It is chirp. They offer sales. Their app is accessible. You go to their site and sign up and tell them the genres you want. And you get a daily email highlighting books that are steeply discounted, kind of like the daily deal from Audible. I love the service. No strings and cheap books.
