One of my best investments/buys last year was an Audible platinum membership - basically buying 24 credits/audiobooks for roughly $9 each. Especially since a credit gets you even brand new books, irrespective of length, it's an insane value - almost like getting CDs for $3 or new video games for $10. I was never into audiobooks when they required lugging CD cases around but with Audible's iPhone app, they're actually the most convenient book form, since you can even "read" while driving, walking, doing housework, etc.
- pullo 15y agomy experience with audio books have not been enjoyable. My speed of reading is much faster the narrator's which leaves me a little impatient. and books of depth require your complete attention, in which case it easier to sit down and focus on them ( so no parallel house work..)
- afterburner 15y agoOne possible solution (which I have used and like) is to play the audio book back at increased speed. iDevices have this feature for anything properly tagged as an audiobook; Android has options too.
