Hi It definitely supports plextalk devices, I saw that in the list of devices when I was activating my stream today. Didn't specify which plextalk gadgets though.

OK, I might be wrong about the Plextalk Pocket since I don't use one, however all the other players I mentioned are supported for sure so sorry for any confusion that may arise. There are two annual membership plans for Audible, 12 book and 24 book respectively. These will cost you £69.99 and £109.99 but you can use your credits to buy anything on the site except for subscriptions to newspapers and certain of the advanced learning language courses. Also these plans can be renewed during the year so if you do feel you want to read more, you can do so without having to wait until your new credits are issued. Anyone can buy books at the full retail price, however members often get exclusive discounts, weekly offers where books are discounted to £7.99, 30 and 40 percent off deals etc. etc. as well as free giveaways. All the best, Ibrahim. -----Original Message----- From: Jim Sent: Friday, November 30, 2012 10:58 AM To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] Fees etc for Audible RE: Re: For Jackie - Audable Hi Is there an annual subscription charge for Audible, how much, and is there any additional charge for each book? Also, I thought I read on this list that the Plexic Pocket doesn't support Audible.

I currently have something over 200 titles in my Audible Library, so if you define that as a good experience *smile*, then most definatly I have. I use an IPhone and have never used a Kindle Keyboard, so perhaps someone more informed than I can answer that question for you. If you are familiar with talking books from the RNIB then you will know that from time to time they get permission to use a book from Naxos, Isis etc. While this is excellent and commendable, it often takes quite some time for RNIB to bring out the very latest titles unless of course we are talking about very high profile books, where as Audible has a raft of Christmas releases already on its shelves, a few of which I am currently enjoying. In short, if you want to buy high quality digital audio books which you can enjoy on most devices, you want the very latest releases or you just want to choose from a very diverse range of books then Audible is without doubt the best audio book site on the net. RNIB does have its place though so I do maintain a subscription to their talking books service. All the best, Ibrahim. -----Original Message----- From: Alfred King Sent: Friday, November 30, 2012 9:37 AM To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] Re: For Jackie - Audable Thanks Ibrahim, to clarify, I could listen to an audable book read by human voice on KK and this would be a higher quality of reading in terms of punctuation, pace etc, than the tts on KK at present. How about navagating a book though, I would be restricted on KK. Have you found Audable a good experience? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ibrahim Gucukoglu" <ibrahim_gucukoglu@xxxxxxxx> To: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Friday, November 30, 2012 9:34 AM Subject: [access-uk] Re: For Jackie - Audable > Hi Alfred. > > Audible is a digital audio book store where in you can buy and download > from a catalogue of over 60 thousand books, magazines and periodicals. > They are all read by human narrators, many of the commercial audio book > distributors like Audio go and Naxos titles are available and you can join > as an audible member giving you credits to spend on anything on the site. > You should be able to listen on a Kindle Keyboard, however many other > devices are supported including many if not all of the specialist players > such as the Victor Stream, Plextalk Pocket, Milestone, Book Sense etc. > etc. There are also apps available for listening to and managing your > Audible library for both PC and many smartphones including the IPhone and > Android devices. > > All the best, I hope this has wetted your appetite to explore the site and > see what interests you. > > -----Original Message----- > From: Alfred King > Sent: Friday, November 30, 2012 9:28 AM > To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > Subject: [access-uk] For Jackie - Audable > > I have heard a lot of discussion on list re audable but do not really know > anything about it other than one can purchase and download MP3 files, i.e. > books.
