Audible by Amazon Audiobook Subscription: Is It Worth It? An Honest Review

Audible by Amazon Audiobook Subscription: Is It Worth It? An Honest Review

 Like many Americans, I spend a lot of time in the car. The average American commutes 28 minutes each day. That's me! I listen to podcasts on my Apple Airpods (which I love) but after I while I need something that has longer content for my drive time because I don't want to be fumbling with my phone after a short podcast episode has been completed.

Well, fumble no longer! I recently stumbled across the Audible audio book content produced by Amazon. Wow! I love to read, but don't always have time to do so during the day, and audiobooks are a great fit for me with my busy lifestyle. I've even started listening to audiobooks while I exercise, go on walks or mow the lawn.

Some of the pros to Audible are the low monthly cost ($15), ease of use and ability to download multiple books each month. I often have more credits than I use each month, and so they store up rather quickly. Overall its a good deal for the volume of material you get to access from literally thousands of titles.

Amazon is currently offering two FREE audiobooks when you sign up for a free trial with Audible. I took advantage of that deal as well. Pretty sweet! 

I've been listening to the Bible read by James Earl Jones, and it is phenomenal. I was worried I would get Darth Vader vibes but thankfully I don't! In a voice as rich as it is familiar, James Earl Jones lends his narrative talents to the King James Version of the New Testament. In over 19 hours on 12 digitally remastered cassettes or 16 CDs enhanced with a complete musical score, James Earl Jones reads The Bible interprets the most enduring book of our time utilizing the acclaimed actor's superb storytelling and skilled characterizations. Its over 19 hours and costs only one credit! Talk about filling up my drive time with some quality content.

Audible by Amazon is a great deal and perhaps like you, I was skeptical before signing up for a free trial. Now I can't imagine my daily commute without it.
