There are other sites for getting recorded books.  I haven’t used any such sites but one called Chirp requires no monthly fee.  I don’t know how its prices compare but you may save money if you don’t want to use such a service much.  You can check the various services to see if they have the books you want and that may help you decide which one to use.  Perhaps you might check to see if representative books you might want are available and at what price with or without a monthly fee.  Chirp as I recall doesn’t  chharge a monthly fee and you can’t sign up to pay one..  . 

As far as Kindle books are concerned, if you are willing to have a book read by the Kindle voice or by your screen-reader, they are much cheaper than recorded books. 

I don’t know enough about Kindle to discuss it in detail.  A lot of books can be read on your computer and by your screen-reader, using the Kindle app for Windows.  I don’t kno is it is available for other operating systems.  Some books aren’t authorized for screen-reader use and you can only llisten to them with the Kindle voice.  There is a portable device, a Kindle, for reading books.  Others will have to discuss that if you are interested.  I don’t know if there is a Kindle app for the IPhone or for Android phones. 

Let the group know if you are interested and you will get more information.  Also, if anything I’ve said is out-of-date or incorrect, I hope it will be corrected.

Has anyone used audible?

How does it work?

Like can I browse and download books on my phone like I do with BARD?

I have book one of a series from BARD but they don’t have the others and I was thinking  audible has it.

What’s the difference between audible , kindle, and good read?

Thanks,

John
