Re: Buying books from Audible.

I agree with this. In fact there have been times when I've purchased an Audible book over the free one available from NLS BARD simply because I liked the narrator better. I've also experienced the same in reverse where I've just listened to the NLS BARD version over the Audible one for the same reason.

Aah, Richard, that was what I was getting at.  For me, if I don't like a voice, 
then I can't listen to a book.  Human nature I'm afraid.

To be even more fair, whether a book is badly read is very subjective.
I have come across one book that I would really like to read, but I don't
like the reader.
The book is Folly by Laurie R. King.
The reader is probably fine, I just don't like the way he reads so I am not
going to buy that book.
Another one that got terrible reviews is the book Room, that lots of people
complained about the way it was read.  I also read some of the reviews
before making a purchase unless it is a reader I know already.

Surely, a reader makes you want to listen to a book.  I don't know about any
one on this list, but if a person can't read the book well, what I mean, if
an actor can't describe what is going on well, then I for one would not buy
it.  For me, a person has to bring a book to life if it's being read other
than you.

Kawal, this is not going to be much help, but I've been using Audible
for years, and I've never felt the need to bother with the samples. My
experience is that you can usually work out whether you're going to
enjoy

a

book from the description.

Hello.


I want to buy audible books using my I phone,.  However, I can't
listen to samples as the audio files present themselves as images.
Does any one

know

how to get around this?

Thanks in advance.

Kawal.
