Has anyone used them to download audio books? If so, how does it work? From what I gather, you sign up and then get allocated a bunch of credits every month which you can use against buying books. But I'd like to know how many credits you get and it doesn't say!

I've got to do a major Spring clean soon and I'm hoping to entertain myself by listening to audio books at the same time :D

Thanks Louise! I've decided to sign up and make the most of the half price membership...so I'm paying 7.99 and I can download 2 books this month :) Hopefully now housework won't be such a drag!

I use them all of the time. I also subscribe to audible.com because we download a lot of kids' books which aren't always available on the UK site. There are two levels of membership: Audible Listener = £7.99 per month/1 credit. Most books are 1 credit. Occasionally they cost two. If you don't use a credit in any given month you can roll it over to the next month. You can accrue up to 6 months of credits. Many books cost much more than the monthly credit which makes this worthwhile. When something seems to be very expensive I usually cross check the price against other sites to make sure that audible haven't overpriced that item. The second level is the premium level which is £14.99 per month for 2 credits. Credits can also be rolled over. Membership also allows you access to members only offers. They currently have an offer where the first 3 months membership is half price. When you buy a book you can choose to pay for an item instead of using a credit. I do this when a book costs less than the cost of the monthly credit. You can choose to change from one level of membership to the other or back again at any time. I'll do that sometimes if the kids want to listen to a series of books but don't want to wait for the monthly credits to come through. HTH Louise
