Let me start by saying that I freaking love Audible<\/a>. (and of course, Amazon Prime, free trial<\/a>)
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I got Audible a few months ago and in 2019, I devoured way more books that I had previously read in any other year. (They say leaders are readers..)
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I love that I can listen to audiobooks while I\u2019m biking\/walking to work<\/a>, at the gym and right before I go to bed.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This Audible review is for anyone that is on the fence about Audible (btw, they have a free trial<\/a> with 2 free downloads). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ll show you the Pros and Cons of Audible in 2020. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s start with a few key criteria on what makes Audible so damn worth it:
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Top 5 Audible Features<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Audible\u2019s features are what sets it apart from other audiobook services. They are designed and constructed to enhance the quality of listening and experience in using their app and services. These top five Audible features help in the ease of use as well as customer satisfaction:
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Whispersync for Voice <\/strong>
    This ingenious feature lets you switch between reading and listening quite easily. With just a tap, you can sync your Kindle to your Audible so that you can resume listening after reading and vice versa. This way, you will never lose where you are in a book even after switching devices. You can listen to your book on your way home and resume reading before bed

    All you need to do is     get a Kindle<\/a>, buy the Kindle book version and add an audio companion. Now, you can switch between reading and listening anytime and anywhere. <\/li>
  2. Customizable Listening Speed<\/strong>
    <\/strong>Audible lets you choose the pace which is comfortable for you. Select a listening speed between 0.5x to 3.0x. Considering that people read and listen at a different speed, this feature lets users enhance comprehension and relax while listening at their own pace. (My default is 1.5x)<\/li>
  3. Ad-free Offline Listening<\/strong>
    <\/strong>Downloading your audiobooks lets you listen anywhere at any time, even without Wi-Fi or data access. This feature is offered with no added cost to your membership. You get an uninterrupted listening time, no Ads, with no extra charge.<\/li>
  4. Sleep Timer<\/strong>
    <\/strong>Do you love to sleep while someone reads to you? You might love the sleep timer feature. It allows you to set the time or the end of the chapter to pause the narration. This way, you won’t lose or forget where you are in a book when you fell asleep.<\/li>
  5. Car Mode<\/strong>
    <\/strong>The Car mode feature lets you listen to your audiobook while you\u2019re driving, and it is so easy to set up. To use this feature, just tap on the car icon in the Audible app. For vehicles with an in-dash system, you can use either Apple CarPlay or Android Auto, whichever is available. Simply connect your phone via Bluetooth, AUX or USB cable, and you\u2019re good to go.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Of course, none of this is important if you don\u2019t have tons of books to choose from, which Audible does.

    Audiobook Selection <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Amazon\u2019s Audible<\/a> holds the largest collection of audiobooks in the world.
    <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Their wide selection of content covers almost any subject or genre like classic novels, children\u2019s books, business, history, biographies, and fiction, together with original audio shows just to name a few.
    <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    No matter what your interest or needs may be, they promise you can find a perfect audiobook to listen to in Audible.
