"To start, we’re offering each Premium individual, as well as plan managers for Family and Duo accounts, 15 hours of listening per month—giving them the ability to enjoy as many titles as they want within that monthly allocation.

[...]

For those super audiophiles who use up their 15 hours before their monthly billing cycles refresh, you can purchase a 10-hour top-up to finish that series. Not sure how many hours you have left? Check it at any time in your in-app settings. "

No cost listed on how much the top-ups are.

Thought this was an interesting addition, but I see they figured out a way to ruin it from the start.

I don't know if they have these, but for the purpose of clarity it doesn't matter.

The Martian is 11 hours.
The Color of Magic is 7 hours.

That's two audio books that together surpassed their joke of a monthly allotment. Two.

And I'm going to burn a whole bunch of those hours falling asleep while the audio still plays.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago

We're friends now because you listed Color of Magic.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Or if its something like Lord of the Rings or Eragon its about a third of a book.

How many Audio books do you listen to a month?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

Not who you asked but I drive and work outside all day for work and listened to 18 books last month.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Ya, only offering 15 hrs means I won't even look into this.
