Moreover, the quality of Audible interpretations is rarely good. Once in a while, they drag you into dirty schemes, like interpreting only a portion of book, but selling it nevertheless (I am looking at you, Bruce Schneier, and your Data and Goliath so called audiobook).
- Jtsummers 6y agoDon't they mark books as abridged or unabridged?
- sam_lowry_ 6y agoThis one was not abridged, recording stopped at something like 30%. I am sure there was some fine print that said it, but well.
- Jtsummers 6y agoOuch, that sucks. I've specifically looked for "unabridged" content when I have bought things on Audible (I rarely do, preferring physical books, but audiobooks are starting to become part of my commute) and so far haven't run into that, but I have a couple that I haven't started listening to yet. I'll have to pay more attention in the future.
- RandallBrown 6y agoThe file just stopped playing at 30%? Did you try redownloading the file? Looking at the reviews for the book on Audible, I'm not seeing anyone complaining about a shortened recording.
