My Personal Opinion
Well, personally I am a big fan of the reading books. This concept of listening and not reading inspired me. I can listen to a book before going to sleep.
I also love to read a book when going for a long drive or when commuting for office. It is a good way to kill your time instead of listening music.
Audible.com a virtual library with hundreds of thousands of books and gives me a wider choice of books.
The Service of audible is great with the subscription fee of $14.95 per month. With Audible membership, you get one book free every month (irrespective of its price) and also 30% off on the price of the book.
Now about the membership price, yes it is little high $14.95/month but if you are a true book lover; it is not that much. You end up spending more on coffee in a month. If you have a decent income, the membership fee is not too high.
I love the way it can work on all devices, my phone, tablet, laptop as well as in my car. For new generations of the car, it is also available with Carplay (from Apple). I can also use this with Alexa at home.
The best way to know if Audible is good for you or not is to try it.
