Switching to Audiobooks
Although I can still read, it’s not enjoyable when I have to strain to read the small type. Recently I have started listening to audiobooks & found Chirp that charges no membership fee. What are others using? Why did you choose the one you use? Let’s educate each other. So far, I really like listening to books & the price is cheaper than a book. Linda Hoopes, Advocate
i use the Libby app through my local library. Every public library in the state participates. I can download books free. I can still read ebooks on my iPad where I can enlarge the text and reverse the background color. I do listen to audiobook occasionally using my ear buds. It’s nice knowing I never have to give up my love of reading. Sharon Moore patient leader - Yes, Libby from libraries is a good option and costs nothing. The only problem I had with Libby at my location is every book I tried to access was either not listed OR I get put on a very long wait list. I ended up “biting the bullet” and subscribing to Amazon’s Audible. I tried their special trials first and found every title I wanted, which inspired me to subscribe. I’ve even joined our local book club & am looking for books on their list on Audible. Audible seems to be the priciest BUT I can always find what I’m looking for AND I’M WORTH IT! I am adjusting to audible and found I now enjoy fiction like never before. Seems the non-fiction I always read before puts me to sleep but the “story-telling” keeps me alert - Exploring new adventures! Linda Hoopes, Team Member
