I love audible books. I can pursue my painting and listen at the same time. I do read books but the audible ones are fast becoming favorites. Currently listening to Game of Thrones. Over 16 hours. Love it.

The only way I know of is if you have them downloaded and share the device. Otherwise you have to share a password. You can send someone 1 from your library as a starter with audible. But they are free from most any library you belong to

I suppose audio books are a modern media for the ancient art of storytelling, as demonstrated by ancient cultures, when reading materials were limited and literate people were uncommon. It's still novel for this era when most people have been trained to comprehend literature and essay through the written word. If you're able to use the medium effectively, by all means, you're ahead of the game.

Hi. I enjoyed the word play! I try to use them to save my eyesight. I was listening to Stephen Fry's Mythos on YouTube the other day. Gosh, what a nice voice! It enhances a really good book. But every time he said something I didn't quite understand or didn't hear right, I had to jump up, stop the audio and search back to look for the exact place.
