As long as you have them downloaded to your computer you can put them on any compatible player from there. You don't need to install from the website to each player.

At any rate, as long as I have access to everything I've ever acquired whether I'm a paying member or not, I'm fine with leaving the books at Audible. I'm willing to gamble that the publisher isn't going to yank books back, nor the company suddenly go out of business before I can download stuff. If I were THAT concerned, I get Tunebite (or similar software) and convert the unread books (and any I might want to hear again) to mp3, and put them on a storage card. |

I am listening to Kate Daniels - Magic Slays (urban fantasy series), and the narrator for these books is amazing. There was a great free audiobook offerend on iTunes called The Crown Conspiracy by Michael J. Sullivan (action/adventure fantasy), I think it was listed as a podbook or some kind of mix between a podcast and a audiobook. The narrator wasn't the best, but the story was good enough that I purchased the next 4 ebooks (and they just got better). Other great audiobooks are: - The Wheel of Time (epic fantasy) - Beautiful Creatures (YA fantasy) - The Hunger Games (YA dystopian) - The Mortal Instruments (YA fantasy) I read a lot of YA and fantasy. These were all great though. Especially The Wheel of Time since they have a man, Michael Kramer, do the male POVs and a woman, Kate reading, do the female POVs.

For the people who listen to audiobooks from Audible: does the site have a large selection of unabridged books? I try to stay away from abridged books. I always wonder what I'm missing out on.

Yes, most are unabridged, though they do have abridged as well. I would personally never listen to an abridged version.

I'd be willing to pay $10 for a year to get the lower price on a few books each year, but I don't need nearly 12 credits at this point.

I would give Shit My Dad Says a 3.5 (out of 5). 4 for the story, 3 for the narrating.

Here's a place I ran across, donation in lieu of payment: http://www.podiobooks.com/index.php
I listened to a book called Double Share by Nathan Lowell, read by the author. He does a good job. I bought the first 3 ebooks in the series from Amazon and when I searched for the 4th ran across this site. Excellent Science Fiction series, by the way. Dean |

The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time by Mark Haddon (narrated by Jeff Woodman) was a joy to hear. Woodman does a spectacular job!

I'm listening to Stacia Kane's Chess Putnam series, read by Bahni Turpin. She does an excellent job with all of the voices. This is one series where I definitely think that hearing it enhances the story.
The books in the series to date: Unholy Ghosts Unholy Magic City of Ghosts A review that I think encapsulates why I enjoyed these audiobooks: Quote:

Absolutely, the Harry Potter series read by Jim Dale are utterly fabulous.
Also, the Rob Inglis versions of the Lord of the Rings trilogy are not to be missed. They are the only unabridged ones and are truly exceptional. |

Superb Male Narrators:
Frank Muller John Lee George Guidall Simon Vance Dion Graham Will Patton Simon Prebble Jonathan Aris Humphrey Bower Edward Herrmann Bronson Pinchot Neil Gaiman Tom Stechschulte Jim Dale Stefan Rudnicki If there's interest, I'll post a 'Superb Female Narrators'. Keep in mind, a narrator is part personal preference. All the individuals listed above have won numerous awards including an Audie (the audio book equivalent to an Oscar, Grammy, Emmy, Tony, etc.) so they have been judged as the "best of the best". I did not include any narrators for which there's strong negative reaction from listeners. Last edited by Rtturvwsxmavpduc; 07-25-2011 at 01:12 PM. |
