This is a good option to Audible. I like the phone interface better than Audible. It's easier to use, however, I don't like that my book sometimes keeps playing if I answer my phone or that books can't be on a cloud where I can use them on both iPad and iPhone the way Audible does. Audiobooks has good holiday specials and they sometimes have promotional free books.
Not all books are audibles, and the trial offer was not really clear.
I also got a notification from PayPal saying that "$14,95 USD" were charged by Audibles... why are you charging money during a free trial period?
Avoid.
I was billed twice a month for three months. We repeatedly cancelled service and still were billed. I have spoken to their customer service on Navy occasions to get no response. Finally had to put a stop payment on future charges.
Audiobooks is awesome! Their customer service is super friendly and super helpful! They have had almost every book that I look for. Most of the new releases I have searched for are there right away. I would recommend Audiobooks to everyone!
Just realized one of my kids ordered a book. He said he cancelled but it was never processed. I was charged 6 months before I realized it. Company refunded me for one month even though it was obvious we didn't use the service. I am furious! Bad company.
Hi Libby, I'm sure we can do better for you. Please check your PMs for more information on how to proceed from here.
When you agree to sign up for the free trial, they immediately try to charge (NOT JUST PLACE A HOLD) for $14.99 on your debit/credit card, even though that legally means they cannot charge until the free trial period ends. It seems users have been complaining about this for years. How both blatantly unethical and illegal. If I had more time, I'd sue them. As it stands though, this is why I have my cards set to manually add new merchants over a certain $ transaction amount...
To my to my surprise there are so many books available on audiobooks. I enjoy that when a new book comes out it is already downloaded onto audiobooks. It's been a pleasure listening to audiobooks as a core about my daily activities.
I travel a lot and listen to Audiobooks in my car. I love the convenience and would hate to take a trip without an Audiobook. I've read the entire Outlander series, which I never would have discovered without this program. There are some technical glitches, such as my book stopping unexpectedly and requiring me to delete and re-download in order to continue listening. However, this problem has not occurred for awhile and may have been worked out by now. Overall, I am happy with Audiobooks.
Audiobooks is without question the best available bookstore online. You can download to your iPod and listen to books while you carry out your daily routine. The selection is extensive and the staff is always very responsive, very courteous, and very professional. I simply cannot give a higher recommendation to any bookstore, online within the cities.
Audiobooks is a piece of sh%t!
I keep getting charge $20 each month and i am a year 12 student who is unemployed and now has $38 in my account. Theyve stolen more than $100 from me and i cancelled my membership months ago! Im so pissed off wtf how do i fix this
