What is Audible and just how often will I listen to it?

I have just recently signed up to Audible with Amazon. I love reading and barely get time to do so on a daily basis. How can I read more? I’m too tired at night and have only been reading when away on holiday. I loved reading and want to read a whole lot more so Audible is the perfect way to listen to book whilst still doing other things.

Audible had helped me amazingly with getting organized believe it or not!

I find my days are crammed with stuff to do and I rush around like a headless chicken! Audible had helped me amazingly with getting organized believe it or not!

Take yesterday for example, I really needed to sort out upstairs change beds and clean bathrooms, this would normally take most of the morning. After stopping for coffee, looking on the internet, picking up the post, tidying boys rooms, checking emails plus general daydreaming etcetera

Instead I popped on my new audio book in the Audible app and put in my headphones and went into auto pilot. In an hour and a half I’d done more than what I would normally of done in a whole morning! It is so easy to do mundane cleaning tasks when you are listening to a good book.

Of course anything that involves abit of thought like sorting cupboards doesn’t really work but dusting, hoovering cleaning is a doddle!

I listen on my iPhone using the audible app whilst doing the hoovering!

How much is Audible each month and how does it work?

Audible is great all the choices of regular book stores and lots of ideas for more interesting reads.

I signed up it was £3.99 for the first three months and then £7.99 there after.

Which is for one credit per month, one credit equals one book. There are other options are like two books per month or 12 books in one go, but I chose the basic one to try.

You can purchase books as well as using your credits while using the membership

You can purchase books as well as using your credits while using the membership. I purchase books when they are on specials too rather than use a credit , ie a £12.99 book is on special for £4.99 , I’d purchase it and save my credit for an expensive book. Amazon also does a daily deal in which a book is just £1.99 this is fantastic.

You can listen to the narrator before purchasing and reads reviews which makes It easier to choose a book.
They also have a great listening guarantee so you can return a book if you really don’t like it. The audible app is really easy to use. It even has a sleep function incase, like me you fall asleep when reading in bed this way you don’t have to rewind half the book the next day.

It has a 30 second rewind button which comes in handy if you didn’t quite catch something as well.
The app also tracks your listening time so you can keep on top of your reading. I’ve currently read a few days worth!

I’m currently reading the husbands secret I can’t wait for the next good book and I can even catch up with a good book with my eyes shut! Its so simple to use, when you cant use your Kindle app Audible is perfect to help you catch up on your next read whilst getting time for all your housework.
