Pricing. Lets get down to business and compare costs: Audible is easily the most used means for acquiring audiobooks. With Audible, you can pay $14.95 a month for one audiobook OR upgrade and pay $22.95 per month to get 2 audiobooks but they don’t offer an unlimited plan. What would you pay per month for unlimited audiobooks? If you join the library and sign up for our $84 Perk (1 Year Full Access) you could read as many books as you want for only $7 a month.

Read More Than Ever Before. Why Should you Donate? How many books do you typically read? How does it work? ...but unlike a public library: What books are on your to-read list?
