Has anyone subscribed to Amazon's Audible reading service? [View all]

I have enjoyed listening to some freebie narrated books before, but Audible isnup to about $15 a month now. I've always been an avid reader, but I've collected some health issues over the years and it's severely curtailed my reading habit.

If I subscribed to Auduble I don't know if I would actually read more books and use it often enough to be worthwhile for the value. For those who have already signed up, are you satisfied with the service? Are you reading more or less books with Audible? Any pros or cons, suggestions would be helpful.

Do you have a library card? If your library subscribes to Overdrive you may have lots of audiobooks PoliticAverse Apr 2020 #2
