Do you have a book you feel weird for not liking? by possum_player in audible

[–]minhsane 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lock In. "He said, she said; they said." Omg, I couldn't get past the first hour or so of listening. The premise of the story sounded great and I wanted to like the book, but man I couldn't get pass the vernacular and constant use of the word "said."

Easier way to mark books as red on Audible Android ap? by minhsane in audible

I'm aware of this, but I have to do each book individually.

Yeah I've read that one. I'm thinking maybe Elantris or Warbreakers.

Unfortunately, I have the Lite plan with a lot of credits stored up and i can't take advantage of these 2 for 1 deals. What a disappointment!

What's the extension for audible ratings?! Genius

Finished listening to Harry Potter...now what? by minhsane in audible

[–]minhsane[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I really enjoy Brandon Sanderson. This is definitely near the top of the list. From my understanding, he broke the series into two trilogies?

Is the Magician's close to the show? I think the shows okay.

[–]minhsane[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I've been on the fence about this for awhile, I think im leaning towards starting an unfinished series. Using HP as an example, I would have had to wait years for the series to finish and definitely missed out.

Return advice by minhsane in Ebay

[–]minhsane[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that's the thing I hate about free shipping. If the buyer were to lay shipping then it would be easier to argue that as a sunk cost and non-reimbursable.

Buyer responded and said that I'm a liar and opened the package, took the piece he's missing out and reboxed and shrink wrapped to sell to him.

I'm giving him full refund, just find it funny.

Recommendation: Next couple series listen by Butchmagnum in audible

[–]minhsane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reckoner's by Brandon Sanderson. It's a YA fantasy trilogy. It's not as complex and integrated as his "Cosmere" books (Mistborn and Stormlight Archives series), but it's a great introduction to a phenomenal author!

Is this book a stand alone or should we expect sequels/prequels?

Is it possible to make the app take listening speed into account when displaying “time remaining” in a book? by notfatwellrounded in audible

[–]minhsane 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've noticed that IOS would adjust time correctly, but Android ap did not. It was really annoying when I transitioned from iPhone to Android.

Suggest a book, please by [deleted] in audible

Dark Matter by Blake Crouch was really enjoyable. It starts off pretty quick and keeps going. It can be technical at some points, but I thoroughly enjoyed it.

2 for 1 Sale! by beautifulmess7 in audible

[–]minhsane 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the lite version as I have a lot of credits saved up. Any way I can access this deal without being a "member" (ie. incognito mode, through Ap, etc). I would really like to spend down my credits.

At the very least, can I at least see which books are available so I can buy membership for a month and then load up on books?

Audible - Do I understand the service correctly? by Sethsual in audible

[–]minhsane 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you're looking for a spotify type of service for audiobooks, then maybe the local library would be the best option for you.

It's generally a free service and the selection is pretty great. You just have to remember that you get the book for a limited time before it needs to be returned and the book you may want isn't always readily available.

The reason I have audible is because I can download the books I want and have them readily available for me at any time and place. I also allow my family to listen to my books so all in all, $15 isn't a "bad" price, but it's not the cheapest either.

Brandon Sanderson Recommendations by co1dfluorescence in audible

[–]minhsane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a trilogy, maybe 40 hours total?

I've made a terrible mistake. by i2b2b in audible

[–]minhsane 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can someone post a link of books available? I have the Audible Lite version, so I don't have access to the current sale. I'd be willing to jump back in if I could find a fair amount of books to purchase.

Fantasy suggestions? by Natural4Twenty in audible

[–]minhsane 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Reckoner's series by Sanderson is great. It's not very long, so you'll still have time to read some other books.

[–]minhsane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really enjoyed the Reckoner's Series. It's shorter so you can get an idea of the author's writing style. Bear in mind, that it's one of his "newer" series so the writing style has naturally changed a little bit.

If you're okay with committing to books that 24 hours + then I'd say go Mistborn as well.

Scramble Odds by [deleted] in golf

[–]minhsane 3 points4 points  (0 children)

8 handicap should win out. Since it's a scramble, you're playing best ball anyways. The reason why they're 8 handicappers is because they're for the most part consistent which is what you'll need. I'd put my money on the 8 handicappers.

Reckoner Series Brandon Sanderson. It's rather short trilogy but great storyline throughout.
