I'd really love an audio book service like Netflix but 15 hours is a joke, that is 2 days worth of listening for me personally and a lot of books you wouldn't be able to finish in that time.
I've tried the majority of the audio books services out there and they are all a load of shit, I think I'll stick to piracy at this point, at least then I can keep the books I enjoy too to come back to again.
That's barely a quarter of Sanderson book...
fuck that.
Literally listening to White Sand right now :D love Sanderson!
Use Libby, with your library card. Unlimited audiobooks and works for almost any library.
No, no it doesn't. For a start I am not in the US so it isn't Libby and secondly I tried the library card / app route and the selection is woefully shite.
It doesn't even have what would be the most popular books for example say Lord of the Rings. It has a seemingly random selection. On top of that they have minimal licenses for the books so if you do manage to find something interesting you want to listen to someone may have already "rented it out" via the app and so you'd have to wait for them to "return" it before you can listen.
Library cards and apps (at least where I am) are one of the poorest choices available and that is saying something going up against the utter dogshit that is audible.
Libro.FM is DRM free and lets you buy any book once a month for a fixed cost.
Yeah I checked it out, it is basically audibles business model with the whole 1 credit a month thing. Yes, DRM free is great but I average 7-8 hours of listening a day so one book doesn't last very long at all.
