Has anyone (else) tried this? It is Amazon's new audiobook service.

I've just come to the end of a free month trial. The premise is good and the tech is superb (I used it on work PC, android handset and wife's iPad) - However...

It is just too expensive in my opinion.

It is £7.99 per month and for that you get 1 'token' which you can redeem against one audiobook. After that you have to buy them.

It's good that the audiobooks are yours to keep but the price too high for solely online.

I had a look online and saw you can return items if you're not satisfied. I did this and managed to get 3 different audiobooks during the trial but that's it.

If the service was more like Spotify and offered unlimited audiobooks (listen only) for a tenner a month I'd probably stay a member. But seeing as not, not.
