Which iOS app do you use to listen to MP3 audiobooks (not Audible)?

@rom I wish they did something with the Apple Plus subscription that included books. Whether reading or listening.

@pimoore @rom That’s why I do enjoy Audible. The $15 a month for a membership is a lot cheaper than buying books at full price. Obviously you can catch some good sales as well but I still wish Apple would do something different. They figured out a way to get magazine and newspaper subscriptions so I imagine they could do something similar here. Even if it was treated like a library book. You don’t own it but you can read/listen to it for a period of time and then it gets removed from your device. I don’t know.

@rom might your library offer another digital solution or subscription service? I think Hoopla offers some audiobooks?

@pimoore @rom I listen when I’m out walking or I have a long drive. That’s the only time.

@greghiggins @pimoore I think they’re staying as far away from that as possible - thanks to the ebook lawsuit.

@UndamnedOne yeah, I wish they do, but then again, will double check - might have the service considering that we’ve gone through a long time of remote learning and remote work

@greghiggins @pimoore used to do this when I jog outdoors or when I commute.
