As an avid audiobook listener (three-six books/week) I was EXTREMELY excited to learn about this website. After having been a member for a months, my excitement has diminished greatly.
The concept is wonderful & has a lot of potential but the website user interface was very poorly designed which makes it toilsome to navigate and difficult to explore new titles; Recommendations are a joke. "Similar Titles" for 90% of the books are limited to a few titles (Steve Job's bio, Dan Brown & Susan Collins); Book selection is decent but leave a lot to be desired; Member preferences are non-existent...as is customer support.
I keep hoping that the website will evolve as membership numbers & revenue increase. I guess time will tell.
In summary, I would recommend Audiobooks.com to a friend.
