rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author elfthe - I like Audible.com very much. I purchased several books for a reasonable price. Decided to stop my subscription because I did not have time to listen. I suspended it instead because the site talked me into it, had the account...

Audible.com: The WORST website- ever.

Thu, 1 Oct 2009 11:40:23 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author mathboy - Audible's site is the worst web site ever created- period. Each click takes no less than a minute to render. A minute. Clicking more than one link from a page (so they show up in different tabs) causes the site to "time out". Having a large collection of...

Audible.com: Audible.com THE Source for Audio Books

Sat, 8 Aug 2009 01:04:45 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author gamblin_man - When I got my Kindle II there was a mention of Audible.com as a source for Kindle II audio books. The site had a special Gold membership at $7.49 a month for the first three months, changing to $14.95 a month after. A Gold member gets one audio book...

Audible.com: Stay away from audible!

Mon, 8 Jun 2009 03:17:46 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author bugmenot - These guys will not let me cancel my account. One can google "can't cancel account audible" to find dozens of such stories. And their audio files are full of DRM crap, you need special software to play them and they will probably not work in your...

Audible.com: Broad Selection, Beautiful Quality, and Bitter, Baffling Philosophies

Mon, 5 Jan 2009 22:18:11 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author bethesdalily - THE VICTORY OF VOCALIZATION

28 May 2008. My nerves taut, I waited for iTunes to open. It had never taken quite so long before-but then, perhaps I had never before been quite so impatient. If my little plan worked, I would...

Audible.com: Much better now than 7 years ago

Sun, 8 Jun 2008 17:09:22 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author sjohns63 - I have been a member of audible since 2001, and in the beginning it was very substandard. The software was terrible, customer service was bad, the book ratings were almost non existent, and so on. I did, however, love listening to the books and I had...

Audible.com: Limited catalog for subscribers?

Thu, 17 Apr 2008 19:51:00 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author stefnagel - When I search without logging in, I get more offerings than when I search as a subscriber. Try "Sansom," for example. I was not aware that subscribers are offered a smaller catalog...

Audible.com: Good Products, Priced Fairly, Good Customer Support

Wed, 9 Jan 2008 07:23:48 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author fierykali - I have used audible.com for about 4 years now. Keep in mind I was in my late 30's and had never used an MP3 Player in ANY form before. I have wondered what would happen to my books if I cancelled my subscription because they do say that if you buy them...

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author iconmc - UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD YOU EVER GIVE THESE GUYS YOUR CREDIT CARD NUMBER!!! Here's how Audible hijacked my credit card number and charged my card $482.90... I cancelled my membership in December 2005. 22 months later, I realized they never stopped...

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author pfalcioni - Audible.com service checklist: Good variety of titles? Check Decent Prices? Check Slow website? Check Erratic Downloads? Check Poor customer service? Check I have used Audible.com for about 5 years now. I am still using the service, because...

Audible.com: Think Twice Before You Buy

Wed, 27 Jun 2007 18:36:40 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author arlington77 - I bought and downloaded a few books from Audible before realizing that it is not possible for me to actually burn CDs of the books, or to listen to the files on my mp3 player. Thank goodness I did not join any of the Audible "plans", so I don't ever have...

Audible.com: "Special Promotions" are a farce, Customer service, Horrible

Wed, 11 Apr 2007 10:06:35 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author aprilcadabra - Their automated response system is all you will get in terms of any replies you expect from complaints. I bought the Gold membership and was expecting to begin accumulating points. To date, I have not accumulated any. I tried writing to them...

Audible.com: Good service, good selection, easy technology

Wed, 28 Mar 2007 00:33:35 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author worlddiva - Overall, I'm very satisfied with audible.com service. The books are easy to download to your computer and then burn on to CD-R. Once you get the hang of it, it's also easy to put books on an ipod. I had a little trouble with that at first, but I think...

Sat, 11 Nov 2006 13:09:14 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author rooney2 - I was a member of Audible.com for 2 years. My experiences with them were primarily positive. Once you order, the audio is available immediately. I never experienced any quality issues with the audio books I purchased, however I did experience serious...

Audible.com: Nice selection, reasonable price, many but not all MP3 devices are supported.

Sat, 2 Sep 2006 00:39:57 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author bluemoon_1 - I signed up for Audible through a group called Bzzagent that gives selected groups of people new products to try. I enjoy reading, although since I have a young child I have not been able to sit down and read as many books as I wanted to recently. I...

Audible.com: Great customer service, but device authentication is a nuisance

Wed, 5 Jul 2006 14:02:53 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author skookumpete - Other reviews have done an excellent job of describing Audible's features and plans, so I'll concentrate on my experience with customer service. Signing up and downloading my first book went smoothly. However, when I tried to upload the files to my...

Audible.com: A Pathetic Company

Fri, 31 Mar 2006 14:05:41 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author dornl - I'd been an audible subscriber for well over a year. The content is reasonably good. Of the many books and programs I'd picked up over the subscription term, a few were poorly narrated or had unintelligible audio, but they were the exception. I had...

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author whuffo - When I recently bought some high-end earphones for my Ipod, they came with a coupon for 3 free downloads from Audible. I went to their site, went through their registration procedure and then discovered that only one free audiobook could be downloaded...

Audible.com: Awkward web site, great customer service

Thu, 9 Feb 2006 16:48:10 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author alanterra - I have recently ordered a number of books from Audible for playing on my iPod. The web site is difficult to navigate, but if you can put up with it, the selection is great. Prices vary, and sometimes are better on iTunes, but the selection can't be...

Audible.com: decent selection, good tech rep, awful interface, incomplete downloads...canceled account

Sat, 7 Jan 2006 21:20:57 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author datadame - I finally took the plunge and got myself an MP3 player and got one with a lot of space so I could put not only my music on it but books too, with an Audible.com membership being a foregone conclusion. I joined at the lowest level, only $9.95/year...

Audible.com: Awful customer service, misleading ads

Wed, 28 Dec 2005 21:13:42 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author not2cr8iv - Audible's advertising is misleading and their customer "service" is the worst I've ever encountered. Buyer beware!!! There is a big push to become a premium subscription member. However, the monthly book credits you pay for expire each month without...

Sat, 24 Dec 2005 18:01:13 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author maikur - ****Why I signed up for Audible**** I LOVE BOOKS. Unfortunately, my lifestyle makes it extremely difficult to actually sit down and read printed books. I have to spend a lot of time in my car commuting to work, or just trying to get somewhere in So...

Sat, 17 Dec 2005 21:22:50 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author normv - My wife & I were happy customers until November 27th of this year. Since then we have been unable to download any Audible books. The transfer rate starts out very low and grows quickly to 60-100 hours and then times out. We have tried multiple PC's at...

Audible.com: The worst customer service on-line.

Mon, 12 Dec 2005 21:02:29 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author rtpnc - Be very careful choosing this firm. Selling is great, support is awful to the point of this purchase being an absolute waste of money and even worse - great gobs of time trying to secure...
