How does audible work money wise, you get 1 book a month for your 10 euro? And pay full price for anything else?

They have a lot of free members content - audiobooks and podcasts. One free per month on the standard subscription and you pay for the rest but they constantly have deals and offers like audiobooks for under 5 euro or 2 for 1 offers which you can redeem with your free book token.

I buy 3 credits for £18, whats that in euros.
You get any book you want for 1 credit.
I’m listening to a few at a time but one of them is 36 hours long (listen at 1.5 speed but that’s good value for 6 pound)

No. I’ll put it on the list!

You can return books with audible and get credit. Borrow Box Library is free and worth a look too.

I’m reading the Angela Nagle book ‘Kill All Normies’ at the moment (it came out 3/4 years ago) which is all about the INTERNET. It’s a very short read (120 pages or so).

Does it highlight new words in red and repeat them at the bottom of the page?

I’m listening to Paul Tonkinson’s book “26.2 Miles to Happiness” as I’m out for my runs. Very good. Liked him when he came out first in the 90’s, he narrates the book and it’s quite clever in how it flows along.
