Sometimes problems downloading with the app but al around awesome.

I enjoy Audiobooks. Good selection. I have yet to look for a book to listen to and come up empty. Easy to use. I use it to make long car trips more pleasant. I also use it when I am working around the house and yard. When I wake up in the middle of the night, I will listen for a while to go back to sleep. I can keep my books on my iPhone or on the cloud for easy access. The only suggestion I have to make the experience better would be to add a "go to" capability. Using the the 30 second skip function is OK if you want to go back to something you just heard but if you want to go back 20 minutes, because you fell asleep using the slide bar is clumsy. It would be much easier if you could punch in a digital location and go directly there.

Awesome app! I use everyday, all day. Only gave 4 stars because I have come across a series or two that do not offer the entire set. However, their customer service says they add to their library everyday. Definitely worth the monthly subscription price if you love audiobooks! :-)

If you are a fan of the audiobook format, I've found this to be the premium service. They have a full selection with all the new releases along with older books including some very esoteric titles. The Ap runs smoothly and will remember where you left off each time, even if you are listing to multiple books. The books download quickly and are then saved on your media device so you are not using up bandwidth or data plan. Like many good subscription services, it will recommend books or authors that you may like, either after you have listened to a title or while just browsing. I find it to be a great value for the content and ease of use.

Mosely gives us real, fleshed out characters when he could have easily given us stereotypes. It's a good listen.

Say goodbye to your social life when you're listening to a series. Audiobooks is so addicting, can't get enough. I even got my brother hooked on it too.

Books are easy to search and easy to download. I am hooked to this service for drives and train rides. I rationalize the monthly price --- it's comparable to buying a paper back at the airport.

I love this app. Good selection of titles. Would have earned five stars except it doesn't automatically pause when someone calls me. If I answer the call the book is still playing I'm talking to the person. Otherwise this is a wonderful app!

This fictionalization of a true life story is read by the author. Thus the audiobook version contains all the proper nuances suggested by the words. As a result the story is a truly astounding account of a childhood lived with two dysfunctional though often well intended parents. Though the father is loving and colourful his perceptions and family decisions are addled by his increasing alcoholism. An adventurer by nature and a dreamer as well he takes his family on adventures that are often ill advised and even dangerous to the children. The mothers narcissism behaviours render the children U mothered as they are left on their own to fend for themselves as best they can through blatant poverty and neglect. The author tells the story straight as it happens. She offers few opinions or editorial comments on the situations the family becomes involved in. It is left to the reader/listener to make judgements on the parents' decisions and attitudes towards the children. This is a must read for anyone who is interested in family dynamics - especially those of a highly unusual American family. At the end it is the love and camaraderie that the children develop towards each other that is so very heartwarming. Glass Castles by Jeanette Wald

I enjoy audiobooks most of the time except on occasions the book will stop playing. I have found the only way to get around this issue is to delete the book and then re download it. I love the fact I can listen to my books on in my car.

I am happy that I found Audiobooks. I am a voracious reader and just didn't have the time to read as much as I would like. Now I can 'read' all my books and actually get something done at the same time. The selection is pretty good. I wish that the series that are selections had the entire series rather than just 3/4 or so. Oh, well, that really is my only problem with them. I had a problem one time, my fault and customer service was wonderful. I wish that I had known that any more than 10 books was pricey. I just go back and 'read' some of my favorites.

I am a big fan of Audiobooks.com. It is easy to use and you can listen on multiple devices. Also, the customer service team has always been very responsive on the few occasions when I have had a question. My major issue is that there are no bookmark or chapter features which makes it impossible to get to the beginning of a chapter or rewind/fast forward in any capacity. And, if you accidentally hit a button and it goes back to the beginning it is frustrating trying to get back to where you want to be. One more piece of feedback is that if a book is the abridged version, it would be nice if it were flagged as such. However, the selection of books is extensive.

A lover of books, I did not think I would enjoy listening to them. The convenience, being able to do other things while listening, is great. Audiobooks has kept me reading more books and more different kinds of books. Thanks!

This fantasy book series, kept me interested throughout my long drive. The Earth King, Gaborn, the many different trials he faces, countless loss of his people, the lords that tried to kill him, his sacrifices . The loss of his Earth powers, as he stays true , and faces the extermination of man kind. This audio book and the rest of The Rune Lord series will keep you in its grips all the way to the climatic end. GREAT SERIES

The site has a great library to choose from and is always adding more titles but I have found that the audio is sometimes distorted and skips. Sounds like they copied off of a CD that had a scratch. Overall, though, the site is good.

I drive long distances almost on daily basis and love the fact that I could still able to do something with my time and not "waste" it by listening to a book. It really makes the time go by much faster and I feel like i'm still getting things accomplished while driving. Excellent reading/listening choices!
