Amazon Audiobook. Audible<\/a> is currently being tested.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I love reading.
I have this bad habit of accumulating books I’ve bought but never have time to read. What if I tried listening instead?
Plus, there’s a 30-day free trial…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I even discovered some<\/em> hidden tricks along the way (*’\u03c9’*)<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

You can listen to one book (one credit) free for 30 days.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When you sign up, you receive one credit, which lets you listen to any book. That’s the system.
If you want to listen to something else right away, you can either purchase it or keep your subscription going\u2014then you get another credit the next month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Returns are possible<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

You can also return books from your account on the home page.<\/a>

The narrator’s voice might not click with you, or the book might not be as interesting as you hoped\u2014that happens a lot.
It’s great that you can return it so easily.

When you return a book, your credit comes back right away, so you can try another one.
That’s the real perk of the free trial\u2014try as many as you want to see what works for you.
*Just remember that once you return a book, you can’t listen to it anymore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Listen on your browser.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Microsoft also distributes an app, and you can use it from there.<\/a>
Can you download from this app too?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

However, the files are DRM-protected AAX format, so ultimately you need to use the Audible<\/em> (Audible<\/em>) app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DRM removal \u2192 AAX \u2192 M4B \u2192 MP3 conversion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you really want to enjoy your books in MP3 format personally. If you want to enjoy them offline.
I won’t go into the details, but that’s possible too (*’\u03c9’*)
So I gave Audible a quick try.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Canceling is easy too, so why not give it a try?
