Hi Guys, Also don't forget that you do have a return guaranty, if you buy a book and don't like it just call their customer service and you get your credit back or a refund back to your credit card if you paid for the book. I assume they may draw the line if you do that with every second or third book you buy especially because even though they remove the book from your library you can still listen to the entire book if you already downloaded it.

In fact there have been times when I've purchased an Audible book over the free one available from NLS BARD simply because I liked the narrator better. I've also experienced the same in reverse where I've just listened to the NLS BARD version over the Audible one for the same reason. -- Raul A.
