    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.

      Yeh a book doesn’t last me for very long at all and audio books as they are right now are vastly over priced in my opinion so even discounted I would be spending hundreds a month if I bought everything I listen to.

      I definitely appreciate that the files they give to you are DRM free, that is the way it should be, but really I wanted something more like Netflix. Something where I can save money on the cost of buying the large amount of books I get through and instead pay a subscription for it and just streaming the content itself.

        Considering that most audiobooks (after the discount) fall in at around $0.75/hr, you’d have to be listening to 4ish hours a day to break a hundred bucks a month (unless you listen at a higher playback speed; I don’t). 2-3 hours a day is probably my personal average.

        I’m not one to bash pirating - I do it for audiobooks with exclusivity deals from time to time. But I hope that if you are pirating all your audiobooks that you donate to the author directly to make up for it.
