I tried one, then did some research, which made me feel bad as got the feeling I was helping someone rip off someone's credit card :disappointed: .... so didnt buy any more....

BTW anyone interested in a good book, try Stephen Fry's Sherlock Holmes , almost 72 hours worth and very good

My 3 month membership at £1.99 a month just ended but can't see this deal for me. :disappointed:

I tend to just read books, never tried an audio book, I'm tempted to give it a go out of curiosity! Cheers op

Can't use the deal as I've been a member for years. #changedbooksforver

God I love amazon. Gave the 3 month trial.
So I can now just choose any 3 books to keep?

Cheers OP.

So tempted :wink:

^^what he said
i've gone through x10 audiobooks this year on the daily commute. Reddit has been a big influence on me & audiobooks - audible always gets a mention but don't forget your local library too.

I just signed up and I cant see any books for children

i'm not logged in but can you see books here: http://www.audible.co.uk/cat/Children-Audiobooks/535836031?ref_=a_whatis_ct2_tnaft_12

sadly, I got the same message. I have enough audio books to last me for few months till the we miss you
offer. You can buy 1 credit audible from ebay for £2. No no way I'm paying the full price.

​I've seen this also, not sure how they do it, though have seen suggestions that the credits are bought with stolen credit cards, but no confirmations..

If anyone has any idea how they sell the credits so cheap, I'd like to know

Does sound quite dodgy...

Anyone here actually done that?

hm thanks, but it looks like when you sign out for trial is like an amazon video not everything is free

I purchased from a US Authorised dealer and made 3 purchases over the year and
no problems. Instant code redemption. His price has slowly gone up as first one was for £1.50 and now £2.

First I'm hearing about stolen credit cards etc.. :confused:

I got this earlier in the month. Have 2 other audiobooks to go through first.:sunglasses:

google it, thats the reason I'm asking, not 100% how they get the codes so cheap

I did. I'm not too sure anymore. Wont be buying anymore from ebay, Too risky. If you account gets suspended,
you lose all your audiobooks. So not worth it especially as I get offers to come back

Thanks OP.

​Yes I seen this page also, seems about the only one that sounds legit, however I have my doubts about how it works, I'm staying away from these credits until I'm more confident in how they're obtained.

if anyone gets the message ​​"The Prime 3-month offer is available to new customers, but it looks like you've already given Audible a try. If you think we've made a mistake, please contact us." ..i phoned them and they added the offer to my account 90 days free trial..my account has only been inactive for less than a month thanks

I'm struggling to see how audible works? I assumed it was like music streaming, you paid a monthly fee and could listen to as much as you want.
But as I am reading it you pay 7.99 a month and can only listen to one a month. Is that right?
So i want a book that's let say 4.99 but I actually pay 7.99 for it?
I'm either confused or it's a stupid system?

I have been a member for a number of years and find it a brilliant service!

Most audiobooks cost considerably more than £7.99. Typically they tend to be around £15-£30. If a book is cheaper to buy, then buy it and save your credit. I think you will find such books are in the minority though.

I find that the daily deals are the best way to get books and they are as cheap as it gets - typically £1.99. If you wait long enough, you will find one of interest to you and don't assume that they are all junk just because they are on the deal! My subscription is up soon and I may soon cancel and just stick to the daily deals, assuming I can.

One thing that is new with audible, is that they will be offering channels to subscribers. These are Podcasts on a range of topics and it looks really good. Apparently I am one of the top customers and I was chosen to trial it for them. Trouble is, I have so many daily deals to get through it I don't have time for any more listening material.

Well that kind of confirms it!
I pay 8 quid a month to subscribe then pay 5 quid for for each kids book for my son and buy one book a month I don't actually want because it's expensive.
So what's the difference of not paying each month, still paying for the 5 quid kids books and if I ever want a book that's more than £7.99 joining, getting the book and then cancelling.
As far as I can see, no difference at all.

why not try the trial & see how it works for you? I am on the fence too but seems a good deal to pass up
more info here (being American though) https://www.reddit.com/r/books/comments/321utq/how_does_audible_work/

I am on an annual subscription and when you have used your 12 credits, you can buy three more at a time for just over £4 each.
I don't know how you will go on if you keep joining and cancelling. I guess they are wise to such things, but I don't know for sure.

Do you get the mp3? Or do I have to have the app and stuff
