Simply Audio Books

Okay, at the risk of sounding like an advertisement, I need to tell you about this cool company. I am not getting any benefit for this, other than hoping that other people might join, listen to some cool books, and keep learning and thinking.

The company is called Simply Audio Books and their concept is similar to Netflix. They have two plans the rental club and the audio club. The rental club works like this- Simply Audio Books sends you an audio book at their expense, you listen to it, and then return it in the prepaid box, and they send you the next one on your list. I signed up for two at a time, which costs $29.95 a month, or $25. if you prepay 12 months. You can get an unlimited amount of books, but a limited amount at a time. So at first I got two books. When I was done listening to the first, I sent it back and starting listening to the next one, then the third one came in the mail, and so on. The other club is called the download club. You can download in mp3 format instead of getting the audio book in the mail. It is $21.95 for two downloads, or $19.95 if you prepay for 12 months. The problem with the download club is that it is a limited number of downloads a month. so, if you sign up for the two downloads then that is all you get for the month. So, I prefer the books. They have a free download every month too.

Right now I am listening to the last cd of a Short History of Nearly Everything, and I must admit that I am kind of sad that it is almost over.

Now, as if that wasn't cool enough, every time you refer someone who joins they increase the number of titles you can have at a time. Check it out for yourself. They have a free trial.
