Tempted by Scribd

Oh geez... after lauding the benefits of library membership, I find myself being sorely tempted by a service called Scribd. Just a small monthly fee and... I could have instant access to unlimited ebooks and audio books. Ooohhh... darn...

As I mentioned in an earlier post, I've discovered the magic of audio books and we have had trials with Audible and Kobo... but Scribd is a game-changer. Because while Audible and Kobo limit you to one free book credit per month for a monthly subscription fee of $15 CAN (or so)... Scribd is unlimited... for the same fee (or less!).

I signed up for a free 30 day trial with Scribd and... have been happily splashing around in audio books and ebooks. I think the thing I like most is that it recommends other books I might like and lets me easily save them to my "To Read Later" list. I have quite a lineup of saved ebooks and audiobooks...

And... I have been tempted to actually sign up for Scribd... It's "only" $13 per month and I could for sure read or listen to more than one book a month... And, there is no waiting for a title to come available, like at the library... Oh, it's so tempting... But that's $156 per year and... I'm not sure about it.

I am, however, tempted to sign up with another one of my email addresses and get another free 30 day trial... With enough email addresses, I could sign up for a few months and really see if I get the benefit from it that I think I would...

Or... is it worth it to just bite the bullet and get a subscription... sigh... decisions, decisions.
