I have the annual subscription to audible and love it. They have recently added a huge library of free books too which has introduced me to new authors I wouldn’t have previously known of. I have it on constantly.

Their customer service is excellent and generous too. They gave me 2 free credits yesterday as they couldn’t answer a question smile after I returned a book that I couldn’t get on with.

I have it in addition to the Libby app.

Which books have been your favourites Molly?

I’ve just looked at my Audible profile, and I have 227 titles shock

Yes I do. I listen to lots of audio books, on the way to/from work, on long trips, doing housework and when I can’t sleep. Give it a try for 30 days.

Yes, there’s 1000s of books on there. Brilliant readers too.

Yes! Me!
I love Audible, but I’m more an audiobook person.
I listen on my Amazon Echo Show.
Annoyingly you can’t listen to the Audible podcasts on Echo, you have to use the app.
I find that it’s good value and you can return your books if you email them.

Just found a podcast I want to listen to but it’s on audible. I can get a 30 day free trial but after that I have to pay. Is it audio books as well as podcasts? Given that I seem to listen to podcast more than read these days I might give it a go. Then again there are always lots of things to listen to on BBC Sounds….
