Antiquated pricing/distribution

ByMegan Hewinson January 17, 2015

Format: Audible Audio Edition

I love Audible and I hate it. If you are an audio book fan, they have the latest releases with the best narrators around. The quality is premium compared to their only real competitor, the library. However the pricing/distribution structure is antiquated and unacceptably high. I would be an enthusiastic booster for Audible if it ran on the newer model like Netflix or Spotify and allowed users access to ALL of its content for a subscription fee, rather than a monumentally high subscription fee for access to a single audio book. Audio books being the length that they are, no one could over use the service to excess and we'd all feel like we were getting a great deal. The current pricing/distribution structure is too cost prohibitive for anyone new to audio books to bother even trying them out, leaving this as an exclusive service to an exclusive audience with a dwindling population. The lack of a formidable competitor has turned this potentially awesome service into an overpriced monopoly.

For my own part, I've decided to save the $17 a month and queue up the digital selections that are available for free through my local library service.

Kept charging my card even after I'd cancelled... download audio and ebooks free from your library instead :)

ByS. R. Mooreon May 11, 2015

Format: Audible Audio Edition

The service itself was actually great. Unfortunately, when I tried to cancel my membership, they charged my card one last time even though my month was ending days after I cancelled.

Our local library offers a service where you can download free audio books and listen to them on your phone, tablet, etc. I'd recommend saving your money and supporting your local library.

Beware of credit card charges

ByC Hunton February 11, 2015

Format: Audible Audio Edition

1 star because Audible.com charged my credit card 28 days into the 30 day trial and after I had already cancelled the trial. Charging a customer before the end of a trial is an unethical business practice and a gross misuse of credit card information.

I just started an account with audio books supposedly for two free books. I purchased one and the credit for the second is gone. I am canceling my account. I dont need to deal with mistakes on my account.

Hello, Audible. Goodbye, Audible.

ByAlexandra E. Baldwinon March 15, 2016

Format: Audible Audio Edition

1. The deal says 2 free audio books. I downloaded one, was browsing for another when I saw that I had 0 credits. I didn't check to see how many credits I had before, unfortunately, so I don't know if I started with 2 or what. I know some longer books cost 2 credits, but when I bought the book I wasn't able to see how many credits it cost. It only said it was free with the Audible free trial, and now I can't see how much it cost initially. I have been looking for ages, and everything just says it's free with the free trial, or that I already own it.

2. They don't advertise their plans (or their deals) well enough. Apparently I could have had a three-month free trial because I'm a Prime member, but I didn't see that deal anywhere, so I went for the 30-day trial. They also tell you that, to continue your membership, it's $14.95/mo, but there are other options that they don't show you. I understand advertising the most expensive plan first and foremost, but you need to give us some other options.

As it is, I'm canceling right away. I waited years to redeem my Audible membership, and I figured that with 2 free books now was as good a time as any to go for it. Guess not.

Great and easy free trial for an amazing program! (Directions for cancellation included for those interested)

ByKatieon December 9, 2014

Format: Audible Audio Edition

This trial really is a no-strings-attached trial! It was extremely easy to cancel at any time (See the bottom of this review for directions). I originally cancelled it after my trial but after a year I decided to start up my membership again. Both processes went smoothly.

As for Audible, itself. I truly love the wide selection of books it has to offer. The 1-year return (with no questions asked) policy of any book is a great convenience too. It's wonderful how Audible syncs across many devices so I never have to find where I last dropped off at. I'd encourage anyone to give this program a try. You might end up missing it like I did.

Thanks for a great program, Amazon!

Here are the directions for cancellation because it seems to be a commonly asked question:

1. Sign in to your Audible account
2. Click the part that says "Hi, [Your Name]!" on the top center of the page.
3. In the drop-down menu that appears click "Account Details"
4. The second box from the top is titled "Account Settings" and within that box it says "Cancel my membership". Click that and follow the self-explanatory steps :)

If cancelling, do it before the month is up by at least a day. Fire HD7 too quiet without stereo connection or headset in car.

BySwedish-Italian Galon November 18, 2014

Format: Audible Audio Edition

It's a nice option to try audible books, however, I was charged before the full month was up for a Gold plan which was $16 per month. When I contacted Amazon, they refunded it. However, you may want to cancel 2 days before your month is up in order to avoid the hassle.
Also, they recommend options that I didn't know where available when I cancelled in the cancellation process: 7.95 for 3 months, and a 9.95 year light reading plan without accumulating credits. You may like those options, but why not offer them before in an open way?
Audible is not loud enough on the new HD7 Fire without connecting to a stereo or headphones in the car, so that was a big disappointment as I wanted to try it out and let both of us enjoy listening on the road. If you have an older car, it just isn't an option.

I have been unable to access the books I paid ...

ByBarbson January 18, 2015

Format: Audible Audio Edition

I have been unable to access the books I paid for . I have asked for support and not received it. the first book I bought only half downloaded and I ended up going out and buying the hard copy to get the rest. I still cant access any of the books or load them onto another device.
