That can happen with the two-finger double tap with audible, music,
voice dream and others. It's weird when you stop something and something
else starts up. Just use the same, and it will stop.

Subject: RE: Some questions about the Audible app
I know the books are more expensive, but since I do not buy that many because
of the other availability, and I can support a local bookstore in the process I
do not mind spending $2 or $3 more for a book when I might buy one 2 or 3 times
a year.
You can sign up for the monthly membership at $14.99 a month, and after you
have gotten a book or two, or allowed a credit or two to be in your account,
you can pause your membership and use those credits whenever you want.
You never lose them.
Then, resume your membership when you want to buy another book, etc.
And, again, because they do not use the Digital Rights Management, (DRM), you
can play them on anything, including Voice Dream Reader.

My problem with libro.fm is I think each book is to expensive. I can get the
books cheaper through audible. You are correct about bard though. Here in the
U.S. I've got over 1400 bard books on my iPhone I really shouldn't worry about
needing to find anything else to read.
Although, voice dream reader and bookshare is very cool as well.

The app does not do a very good job of allowing you to flick through
categories. I think because visually they have pictures of the book
cover, though I do not know why it repeats.
You do not seem to be able to check the price in the app because you
cannot buy from within the app. You can add it to your list, etc.
I find the web site far easier to use for browsing and for buying for
that very reason.
Before I switched to libro.fm, I had the Gold membership for basically
$149 per year for 12 credits, which comes out to about $12.50 per book.
There is also the platinum plan for I think about $240 per year for 24
credits.
Since Amazon owns both Audible and Alexa, once you have a book in your
Audible Library, you can just ask Alexa to play that title. This
assumes you are using the same account for both, which you probably are.
I switched to Libro.fm because I'm not buying that many books because
I can usually get them here in the United States through NLS, or Bookshare,.
When I want a human read book, I will buy it through Libro.fm because
I can play them on anything that plays mp3 files and a local bookstore
gets half of the price.
The only books they do not have that Audible has are the Audible Originals.

Subject: Some questions about the Audible app
Hi I just subscribed to Audible.com although I'm in Canada.
I installed the app on my phone but I have a few questions.
First is there a way in the app to view an entire category of books
meaning I can scan through several books but then it just seems to
repeat them so wondering if there is a way to go through an entire
category or genre without having to go on to the website.
Also if I decide to purchase a book is there a way to see the price of
the book instead of just letting me know I can buy for one credit so I
can decide whether it is best to use a credit or just cheaper to buy
the book out right.
Is there anything else I should know or that would be helpful before I
start downloading and listening to books.
Finally I have an echo Dot and I am wondering how I can link my
audible account so that I can listen to the books I have in my library
on my device.
Lastly when it comes to the different membership options which choice
do some of you guys have and why and what one do you feel provides the
best value for money.
Thanks in advance.
Jen
