I dont use Audible because they require a credit card, but I do use Overdrive since they only require a Library card.

I don't.... I hate anyone "reading" to me and quickly tune out. I don't even like my husband reading me two or three sentences out of a newspaper. I like to pick up a real book and read with my eyes.

Audible and Overdrive are great for my cardio workouts and long drives. After Dr. Wayne Dyer died last year I got a few of his more recent books. I also enjoy biographies and autobiographies.

I listen to audio books on cd in my car.  Mostly real estate related, but sometimes a good murder mystery.  I love James Patterson.

Lise,
I narrate and produce audio books for Audible.com, iTunes and Amazon in my own professional studio under different pseudonyms. I stick to non-fiction, history, self-help, etc. so you won’t hear me in the fiction section.
