Audiobooks

I would like to sign up for Audible, but looks like on the monthly plans of around $14 you can only use 1 book. Also looking at the Amazon prime membership which i believe includes Audible and unlimited prime reading (with audible narration). Just wanted to know what you guys use.

I've always used the annual platinum plan.

The "free" audible with Prime is very limited in scope, you'd have to subscribe to the full Audible to get audiobooks.
That said I drive, like a lot, 2 hours each way to work everyday. And audio books are a big part of what keeps me sane. If I went the audible way then I would be bankrupt pretty quickly.
Libraries are a good place to get audio books, but I still go through them faster than I can get them, though most libraries have online digital checkout options for audio books, so check with your local library on that.
When all else fails I torrent audio books. I belong to a private torrent community that does nothing but audio books. It has come in very handy.
I really wish someone would start a Netflix type audiobook service, and all you can listen to flat rate service.

4 hours of drive! What else you do during that long drive?
I like the idea of a Netflix kind service, but if you look at it Amazon probably covers a huge library of books! I wish Audible had an unlimited book options on a flat rate.
