The app does not do a very good job of allowing you to flick through categories. I think because visually they have pictures of the book cover, though I do not know why it repeats.
You do not seem to be able to check the price in the app because you cannot buy from within the app. You can add it to your list, etc. I find the web site far easier to use for browsing and for buying for that very reason. Before I switched to libro.fm, I had the Gold membership for basically $149 per year for 12 credits, which comes out to about $12.50 per book. There is also the platinum plan for I think about $240 per year for 24 credits. Since Amazon owns both Audible and Alexa, once you have a book in your Audible Library, you can just ask Alexa to play that title. This assumes you are using the same account for both, which you probably are. I switched to Libro.fm because I'm not buying that many books because I can usually get them here in the United States through NLS, or Bookshare,. When I want a human read book, I will buy it through Libro.fm because I can play them on anything that plays mp3 files and a local bookstore gets half of the price. The only books they do not have that Audible has are the Audible Originals. Richard Ralph's Observation: It is a mistake to allow any mechanical object<>to realize that you are in a hurry.

Sent: Wednesday, February 24, 2021 9:50 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Some questions about the Audible app Hi I just subscribed to Audible.com although I'm in Canada. I installed the app on my phone but I have a few questions. First is there a way in the app to view an entire category of books meaning I can scan through several books but then it just seems to repeat them so wondering if there is a way to go through an entire category or genre without having to go on to the website. Also if I decide to purchase a book is there a way to see the price of the book instead of just letting me know I can buy for one credit so I can decide whether it is best to use a credit or just cheaper to buy the book out right. Is there anything else I should know or that would be helpful before I start downloading and listening to books. Finally I have an echo Dot and I am wondering how I can link my audible account so that I can listen to the books I have in my library on my device. Lastly when it comes to the different membership options which choice do some of you guys have and why and what one do you feel provides the best value for money. Thanks in advance.
