I was a huge reader, 2-3 books a week my entire life. I stopped buying books over 25 years ago and have solely used the library. After I got POTs, my concentration has been blown to bits, it now takes me about a month to read a book and the enjoyment just isn't there. This just about breaks my heart because reading was my "thing". I have downtime during the day and I spend it listening to podcasts but I would prefer an audiobook. my library has stopped getting new books on CD, only on some other format and only for "popular" titles which don't tend to be my thing, there is a long waiting period for these "books". The type of books I request are not coming with a digital or audible option as of late.
I am living on a very low income so audible would be a splurge but it costs less than 1 book a month and I think I would really enjoy it. I have enough money saved to pay for a year upfront and there is a deal going on right now. The bottom fell out of my life in Sept of 2015, I have been trying to get my "read" back since then. I think I've given it a good try and there's nothing wrong with reading a book by listening. I will, however, keep trying to read with my eyeballs, but audible would ease the frustration.
has anyone tried it? am I being too spend-y?
