Anyone have feedback please on experience. Yes they are owned by Amazon. But it would be nice to know any positive or negative feedback on publishing, reading, hearing? Thanks.
It's about audible books. It's a brand name yes, but basically it's about experiences with audio books.Is this a particular brand/site or about talking books in general?
Did you enjoy the experience? Reading books can sometimes be a drag as it takes a bit more work for your head to process being visual. Punctuation, vocabulary, sometimes losing your spot and rereading...I had the audible service for a short while.
While I am ok with “books on tape,” I found audible a rather expensive way to access story.
some readers were okay, some brilliant and some were audio Sominex. I’d be asleep in minutes...and not trying to be.
I’d rather have a hard copy book.Did you enjoy the experience? Reading books can sometimes be a drag as it takes a bit more work for your head to process being visual. Punctuation, vocabulary, sometimes losing your spot and rereading...
I just wanted to know whether the audio variety is more relaxing or enjoyable, laying back listening rather than turning pages.
Being put to sleep like a kid by having a story read to you![]()

I asked this question mainly because my love has great difficulty in remaining asleep. She is in a relatively high stress job, dealing with Director Generals and government Ministers.I’d rather have a hard copy book.
I haunt used bookstores.

Typically, she loves murder mysteries, I've mentioned this before somewhere, probably under a previous user name. Where women are a bit more fascinated with the solving of a crime, the intrigue surrounding problem solving, hints and evidence left.
Anyway, she can sit and watch murder on TV, then sit in bed and read a mystery before drowziness sets in. She has no problem falling asleep...it's staying asleep. She gets up, goes to pee. Then lays in bed with her mind doing a thousand revolutions a second.
So I mentioned Audio books...where it is narrated and not left to the imagination to ponder and think up different scenarios.
Mmmm, got beat down with that idea, because I said well, when you do get up, you can place your earphones in and pick up where the story left off. I have said, if you wake, right it down, clear your mind.....
It's just an idea to try help her get the rest she needs. Because of her health also, cause if you are not sleeping well, your body does not recuperate. Yes......she is a little tetchy in the morn, and is always rushing out the door and stressed. I start the car, move it out and position it so all she needs to do is press the button on the gate and away.
I myself switch off at night, yes sometimes I lay awake. But I tell myself, I'm not going to solve personal or world issues, by laying in bed, tying my mind in knots worrying about it. Yes, I have issues with being self employed as well....but I have managed to leave those issues for when the sun comes up. Most of the time
