    Having a quick look the fact that it is using a similar system to audible with the “gift you a credit per month” bullshit then that’s a hard no for me.

    I go through multiple books every month, on my heaviest listening weeks I will usually listen to 35 - 40 hours worth so a single “premium” book and then a load of free trash like audible just doesn’t cut it for me.

    Scribd seemed like a better option but they will stop you from listening to certain things after like 15 hours. So I was locked out half way through a book, I could go listen to other books but who the fuck wants to listen to books in halves or quarters then wait until the next month to continue.

      The credit is for a full book, regardless of book cost.

      So you get one full book and then any other books you buy are discounted.

      But the big reason I go with them is they give you DRM free audio files of the books to download and keep. Most books are both in m4a and mp3 format.
