Audible has a "preview" option, so that you can listen to a few minutes and see if the narration is for you. 

Also, you can return a book if youre not into it after a few chapters. Ive done that a time or two, you get your credit back immediately, and the title is removed from your library.

@KailaS ITA with you (well I am not a former educator) but my vision is dimming a bit . I appreciate audible. Some book programs can be read by Alexa--but to me that takes some getting used to.

Many autobiographies are narrated by the author. I have recently listened to Viola Davis,Matthew Mc--??? (sp?),Whoppi Goldberg,some of Barbara Striesand(sp?)--it is long, and " I know why the caged bird sings" by Maya Angelou. --love her voice! Also, Melody Thomas- the soap opera diva. Her life was very interesting.

I am currently listening to Cher the memoir part one She shares narration with one of the actreses that portrayed her on broadway. This as she explains at the start is because of her learning challenges. I am just getting to the part where she meets Bob Mackie.

@Lilysmom1 Play around with the Audible app. Try the tab "Discover" and "Profile". I listen to a lot of the free contents in The Plus Catalog. Use the timer function as well as play around with different speeds; I like listening at 1.2x vs the default 1.0.

I do have Hoopla and Libby but I mainly use Audible.
