How to Listen


Smart phone app

probably the best audiobook app
Organization features - genre/collections
Speed settings
Jump around by sections/chapters
Bookmarks - with notes
Sleep timer


Apple watch app - most of the same features
Web player - pops up and looks like the smart phone app screen
All of these listening platforms sync up

True Stories:

Best f-ing customer service EVER! - I haven't used my account in months, but was still paying. I contacted customer support to cancel my membership, and the dude not only refunded my money, bit gave me 3 months free, to give me time to use my remaining credits. 10/10 Audible.

Audible Customer Service is the best!

I just used the Customer Service section on the desktop site to make a suggestion under the “Great Ideas” topic, and the customer service rep who responded to me via email gifted me a $10.00 coupon. I certainly wasn’t expecting or asking for that!
