In this video, Kelly provides a detailed overview of Audible, focusing on both its strengths and limitations. Audible operates on a credit system rather than offering unlimited audiobooks for a single monthly fee, with a basic membership costing £7.99 per month that includes one credit per month. This membership often allows for significant savings on audiobooks, such as "The 4-Hour Work Week" by Tim Ferriss, which could otherwise cost around £20. Despite this, Kelly notes that once a book is started, it cannot be exchanged, making it important to check Amazon reviews and use sample previews. She points out the inconvenience of not being able to purchase audiobooks directly through the Audible app and mentions variation in narrator quality, with some being more engaging than others. Overall, Kelly finds Audible to be a valuable and convenient service, particularly highlighting its vast collection, the ability to download books for offline use, and the flexibility of canceling the service at any time. She concludes with a suggestion to use an affiliate link for a free first month and encourages viewers to subscribe for more content.

In this segment, the speaker discusses the benefits of an audiobook membership, highlighting that most audiobooks are cheaper with the membership, often costing less than their regular price. For instance, “The Four Hour Work Week” usually costs about £20 but was available for £7.99 with the membership. However, they also mention some drawbacks. One is that the membership isn’t unlimited, so once a book is purchased and started, it cannot be exchanged if the listener isn’t satisfied. To mitigate this, they recommend checking Amazon reviews and using the sample button within the Audible app to preview content and the narrator’s voice. They note that while some books have authors as narrators, which adds authenticity, others may have less engaging, sometimes robotic-sounding narrators. Additionally, audiobooks cannot be purchased directly within the Audible app, but must be bought through the website, which is more of an inconvenience than a major issue. The overall opinion is positive, noting that Audible is worth the money, especially for those new to audiobooks.
