Was thinking about getting it for Audio Books


Is it worth the monthly subscription?

Do they actually have a decent catalogue?

Its okay for the most part, but the biggest seller is the free audiobook per month. The actual catalog for the service is hit and miss. Mostly self help books, autobiographies, and smut books. If that's your twist then go for it, but trust you have a better experience with just getting Spotify than dealing with Audible.

Now there is Scribd which has everything including audiobooks which is a wayyy better deal than audible.

Scribd?

Never heard of it, sounds like a winner

Would I be able to download them and listen offline, or is it mainly streaming?

I torrent my audiobooks now but for obscure, non-popular books, it's the best.
