Audible: Review

So tonight I decided to try Audible - http://www.audible.com/. It has a 30 day free trial period and then goes to a subscription service by month.

So far I am very happy with the way it works, my computer and iPhone have had no trouble connecting. Also, it show what books I might want to read next. However, the one problem with the model is that you only get one audio book. After that you have to pay a discount rate for all additional books.  Maybe one book per month is all I will need. I'll report in about a week to how it is working.

The reason I decided to try Audible is (Apple don't get mad at me)  I was having a very hard time loading my audio books from my Mac to my new iPhone. My older phone was able to have books and sync them, but now I can't after my phone upgraded software.  I asked someone at the Apple store and it has to do with copyright laws. Which is fine. However, I need my audio books on my phone because that is where I listen to them (on the go).  So hopefully this will work out great and I will have another way to learn on the road.
