I really like audible. I have the gold plan and get one credit a month. There are also lots of sales where you get books for reduced prices and two books for one credit . I like to add books to my wish list and wait for them to be on sale to buy them. There are also daily deals every day. There is also the plus catalog with hundreds of free titles to listen to. I also love the book navigation in audible. I can easily move forward and back by chapter or in 30 second intervals. I also love that I can easily move back and forward 30 seconds when the screen is locked and using all my headphones and speakers. I cannot do that with most other listening apps such as BARD. It just moves me back an entire section instead of the 30 seconds I wanted to move. I love free books and often use bard, But, I think that the narration quality is much better with audible than with BARD. I recently found an old childhood book on BARD that was not available in audio anywhere else and I was so disappointed that the narration is absolutely terrible. I really wish that the commercial version were available on audible. I would buy it in a snap.
