Thanks for the enlightenment. I have 496 books in my audible library. I’ve listened to about 350 of them. Probably more. I listened to two or three books per week. I will use my 315 hours per month on Spotify, if there’s a book I really want and I don’t want to spend a credit. I am the listener that it will work for, however I won’t be topping up.
Blockaid Billy, by Stephen King. Brilliant storytelling, and one of the best narrators I've ever heard. Short but awe-inspiring. Should come with popcorn and a soda. A close second is Blood Meridian, by Cormac McCarthy. So pure in its description of evil that it leaves one feeling dirty.
I would say it depends if Brandon Sanderson was exclusively on Spotify I would see about options to purchase his books on there so I can read them as much as I like. If not I will buy physical copies because when I really like an author I will pay for their work and I won't accept a subscription in place of ownership I will miss the Michael and Kate the narrators for Brandon's books though so I may still listen to them on Spotify alongside a physical book purchase. Audible is better imo because they offer a bargain where you can buy 3 tokens for somewhere around 35 Aud and that means I can buy a trilogy which used to be the standard for a lot of genres. There is a lot of value for money In audible if that value isn't there in spotify I will not use the platform. Also if you use the desktop version of audible you can select from a range of free books that you can add to your library for free. Finally audible doenst come with ads unless you listen to a podcast Spotify is full of ads. I listen to audio books multiple hours everyday yesterday I spent 491 minutes listening to audiobooks and this is standard for me.
Hi, thanks for the video. Because I like fantasy and science fiction, most of the books go way longer than 15 hours. Take Outlander as an example. If you didn’t top up you would be waiting for a three month period to finish the book. That in my opinion is ridiculous. On music, I was like you. Streamed everything. Right up to when we were locked down for months and the internet became problematic for about a two week period. I can’t remember now what the problems were, but the internet went down on and off. Then I lost my job because I wasn’t going to have the poison, resulting in I could no longer afford all the subscriptions. That’s when I realised the importance of owning the physical media. CDs, DVDs, Records, books… I have now built a home extension for a library/music room.
Thank you for uploading.

15 hours a month is not enough. Audible and Libby for me.
Solid video! Very thorough and informative.
Whats the best audiobook you've ever listened to?

All the Raymond Chandler books have the same narrator. He does a great job with these books with a throwback tough guy tone.
Ah nice one, the narration can make or break an audiobook for me.
I will not pay for something on top of something I already pay for it just pissed me off
