This trial really is a no-strings-attached trial! It was extremely easy to cancel at any time (See the bottom of this review for directions). I originally cancelled it after my trial but after a year I decided to start up my membership again. Both processes went smoothly.

As for Audible, itself. I truly love the wide selection of books it has to offer. The 1-year return (with no questions asked) policy of any book is a great convenience too. It's wonderful how Audible syncs across many devices so I never have to find where I last dropped off at. I'd encourage anyone to give this program a try. You might end up missing it like I did.

Thanks for a great program, Amazon!

Here are the directions for cancellation because it seems to be a commonly asked question:

1. Sign in to your Audible account
2. Click the part that says "Hi, [Your Name]!" on the top center of the page.
3. In the drop-down menu that appears click "Account Details"
4. The second box from the top is titled "Account Settings" and within that box it says "Cancel my membership". Click that and follow the self-explanatory steps :)

5.0 out of 5 stars I only have good things to say about Audible October 31, 2014
By Kelly
I only have good things to say about Audible. It has become an essential part of my daily train commute. I particularly love the author-narrated books -- they take on a whole new amazing dynamic (a hilarious example: Amy Poehler's "Yes, Please"). The membership come with credits that you exchange for any book in the Audible library. If you use a credit on a book you're not crazy about, you can exchange it. Really simple.

It's a nice option to try audible books, however, I was charged before the full month was up for a Gold plan which was $16 per month. When I contacted Amazon, they refunded it. However, you may want to cancel 2 days before your month is up in order to avoid the hassle.
Also, they recommend options that I didn't know where available when I cancelled in the cancellation process: 7.95 for 3 months, and a 9.95 year light reading plan without accumulating credits. You may like those options, but why not offer them before in an open way?
Audible is not loud enough on the new HD7 Fire without connecting to a stereo or headphones in the car, so that was a big disappointment as I wanted to try it out and let both of us enjoy listening on the road. If you have an older car, it just isn't an option.

I have used Audible for several years and love almost everything about it. For most of that time, I commuted about 30 miles to work and Audible changed that from an onerous task to something to which I looked forward. It can't be beat for long-distance drives when combined with the music I loaded on my iPod.

One thing I learned from experience: If you use the Enhanced format and your book is longer than about 18 hours, the content may become corrupted during download. Switch to Format 4, which will break the book into smaller parts, but will prevent the audio from skipping parts or the narrative from ending prematurely.

Audible has always been willing to restore credit to my account when I return a book, even if it's just because I didn't like it. If there has been an issue, though there seldom is, they have given me a free credit. That's good customer service.

I am taking one star off because at this time Amazon does not let us use gift cards as partial payment for membership renewal.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wish i discovered product sooner. December 21, 2014
By Katsky
Wish I discovered this product sooner. Having the time to read books has become difficult with busy schedule and long days sitting at the computer. Now I can listen to books on my phone as I'm out and about. You can even change the speed of the audio book, bookmark pages and make notes. Great product. Thank you!

5.0 out of 5 stars Makes me a better person! October 8, 2014
I listened to the "Power of Vulnerability" by Brene Brown (no I don't get paid any commission - just love the audiobook) during my Audible subcription and was hooked to listening to books. Since then love listening to a wide selection of non-fiction, great courses, tech and biographies using my Audible Membership, especially when I am busy and unable to "read" with my eyes. All it takes is one inspiring story, one riveting listen to look at the world around you differently!

4.0 out of 5 stars I love Audible, but I wish that I could use ... November 28, 2014
I love Audible, but I wish that I could use my Amazon GCs for Audible since Audible is owned by Amazon. Even if Amazon would offer a means for buying a GC on Amazon to use on Audbile, I'd be happy with that.
