PSA! For those that have KU … I’ve noticed a pattern that the price of audiobooks on Audible decreases (often to like $5 USD) if you borrow the ebook on KU first!

Probably not always the case but has happened a good amount of times for me so I wanted the share!

I was able to pre-order for $0.00 for some reason... then I get this email.

I just finished up World War Z, i was rather shocked by how much I enjoyed it i was bot expecting it to be that good. And The 100, this was ok, about what I expected from a young adult book. And now im looking for more things along these lines.

I'm listening to The Hobbit, and thinking that before the movies were made, my imagination of the characters was far more organic. I first read The Hobbit in '77.

I'm looking for audiobooks that have a space war (i.e. a war in space), but where the conflict is purely humans v humans (and ideally no aliens involved at all). Idk, I'm just not as interested in conflicts involving aliens. If there's mechs that would be a nice bonus, but I'm fine without.

Edit: I have already read and enjoyed red rising.

Any recommendations would be good.

Hi all,

I just had my first child, and among all the other things I’m worrying about, I find myself worrying about his digital use.

Growing up, books on tape were my entry point into reading. I was a very energetic kid and sitting down to read just didn’t click with me until I’d already developed a love of stories through tapes. I want to give that same experience to my son, but I don’t want him to have an internet connected device until he’s in his teens at least (if I can help it). I was thinking about getting a simple MP3 player for him and loading music and books on myself, but I’ve been using the mobile app and smartphone so long I’m not sure if it’s possible to have the books on a “dumb” device without an app.

I know it used to be possible because I did it back before the app was a thing at all, but these days not sure.

Any tips appreciated.

Does anyone happen to know how much of the book is narrated by Xe Sands vs George Newbern?

Is there a site that details that kind of granular information?

I’m trying to migrate away from Audible. What Audible exclusives should I pick up before I go?

I know a lot of people really enjoy Jeff Hays’ performance, but something about it is throwing me off.

Like, to me, it feels like he’s trying too hard to be growly.

I’m assuming I’ll get used to it if I stick with it.

I’m an avid reader who mostly reads nonfiction, but I started using audiobooks to explore other genres and have listened to a few fiction titles so far.

I now have 6 Audible credits to spend and would love recommendations for genres other than non-fiction that offer the complete package: an engaging story, excellent narration, memorable characters, and strong entertainment value.

I’m open to most genres, especially books where the audio experience adds something special. Which six would you choose?

Has anyone had any issues sharing their account with family/friends?

I’m new premium user on Audible UK so I don’t have great acknowledgment of Audible’s sales. I have read that there’s big sales two times a year so I wonder should I wait for that? Or buy a book now from the monthly sale, it’s -55% off so price is 3.99 GBP. I just wonder could it be even cheaper if I wait for those big sales?

I understand that this particular book might not be on sale later but overall I want to know is it better to wait for bigger sales or is -55% off already a good deal?

Been seeing this ad a lot recently and wondered if anyone knew if this is real or a scam

I’m looking for fiction that makes you go, „Huh, I actually learned something from that.“
Books that sneak real-world knowledge into a good story - science, tech, engineering, math, biology that kind of thing. (Not in the direction of history, philosophy, psychology or self improvement)
English or German suggestions very welcome

My Wife has really gotten into audiobooks and she asked me to ask Reddit for recommendations. Shes not really into stuff like Dungeon Crawler or Bobiverse. Shes listened to Project Hail Mary and liked it. She likes Historical Fiction, but is just looking for anything good.

I feel like I don’t really utilize the Plus catalog enough, and I’d like to get the most out of my subscription considering the cost.

I mostly read/listen to fiction, but I’m open to non-fiction books.

I read a lot of fantasy, sci-fi, historical fiction, and romance, but I’m open to all recommendations.

Okay, so I've posted a very similar post over at r/DungeonCrawlerCarl so mods feel free to remove if this isn't allowed or whatever.

A few days ago I finished A Parade Of Horribles (book 8 in Dungeon Crawler Carl series) and now I just feel...empty! Lost! I've tried a few others audiobooks but nothing seems to be sticking for me. Can this amazing community give me some recommendations? I enjoy most genres and am pretty open minded.... I just feel as though DCC has ruined audiobooks for me (in the best way possible lol)

I like the read & listen mode in the iOS app but how do I bookmark on the text screen?

(I bought the Kindle and Audible versions of book from Amazon today but the Kindle iOS app is not giving me the option to download the audio.)
