For the really big book users out there, like me, audible offers a platinum subscription, which gives you 24 credits. Of course you have to pay for that all at once. But the cost per credit then becomes less than $10. You can carry 12 from one year to another. I have never had a problem using up

Thanks, Sieghard. I agree that listening to an audible book using the audible app is much easier than transferring the books to the stream, and I have listened to audible books using the app when I am at home. But I find the sturdiness of the stream device better suited to crowded public transp
