Sanderson’s the way of kings introduced me to audiobooks and I have never looked back. These days I just buy the audible narration without the membership

Doesn't that cost nearly twice as much? I just start a membership, spend the credit, then immediately cancel the membership.

Although for some shorter books that were only $10 each I forwent that process and bought them directly.

Not when it’s purchased as an add-on to a Kindle version. For most books I end up paying $10 for the text and $8 for the narration add-on.

So much better when starting a new book to be able to read all the new and unfamiliar names and places.
