Features Set:  

Audible makes it easy to find your favorite books whether you know exactly what you’re looking for or just want to browse. With the search box, you can search the inventory by author, title and keyword. Or, browse one of 27 categories to find a book on Health & Fitness, Self Development, Fiction, etc. Audible also has a best seller’s list so you can see what your peers are listening to.

You can also see what your peers think about a title. Audible has customer reviews and you can write reviews to share your thoughts and insights. The customer reviews are an invaluable source when deciding whether to download an audiobook.

If you’re still indecisive after reading a few reviews, Audible offers audio samples of each book. The samples are high–quality and there are no frustrating buffer delays. 

The one realm of audiobooks that Audible hasn’t delved into is audiobook rental. If this is what you want, look into the Silver Award winning product, Simply Audiobooks.
