[QUOTE="EricNoah, post: 3956192, member: 4"] I just got myself an early holiday present: a subscription to audible.com so I can get a regular stream of audibooks for my iPod. It's about $15 a month (special right now is $7.50 a month for the first 3 months). Each month I get 1 credit; most audiobooks are 1 credit (though really long ones are 2). Today with my 1 credit for this month I bought Master & Commander, clocking in at about 16 hours long. On my wishlist for future purchase are A Game of Thrones, American Gods, Dune, I Claudius, and Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass. Oh, I also got a complimentary subscription to a 45-min daily New York Times podcast. And I guess I get 30% off of purchases if I want to go beyond 1 credit (though I don't plan on it). Maybe this will turn out to be something I don't use as much as I think will; during the summer, though, I'm always looking for podcasts and other things to listen to on my bike rides and hikes, and when we go on long trips I find time flies when I'm listening to an audiobook or podcast moreso than with music. I do know that I shy away from buying individual audiobooks at iTunes, but the subscription model seemed much more attractive to me for some reason. I figure that since I don't play WoW, this could be my replacement subscription. :) Anyway, just excited and wanted to share! [/QUOTE]
