How long ago did you have Audible? Alexa/Sonos is "coming" but for now I just stream via Airplay to home speakers. As for the rest, I don't have any of those issues with the iOS app, seems pretty easy.

The audible subscription is a much better value, when I get full on credits I can just cancel my sub until I'm ready for more books and don't have to pay $40 or something. If I really want a cheap book (something less than the subscription price, I will just buy outright and save my tokens for something expensive)

My only real complaint with Amazon (and it may be a publisher rule) is you don't get the kindle version for free. If I want to switch between book and text seamlessly I have to buy both versions.

Does anyone know if the author gets less money when buying an audio book vs a text book?
