Transfer Audible Audiobooks to USB to Play in the Car

Featured with the huge collection of more than 200,000 books, Audible is the largest producer of downloadable audiobooks in the world. It is also an extremely popular audiobook membership option. First, you take out a free trial of Audible and get a free audiobook to let you know if the service is right for you before spending any money. At the end of the month, you can buy a monthly subscription of Audible for $14.95, which will offer you 1 credit per month (a credit is good for any audiobook purchase, regardless of price), and a 30% discount on any additional audiobook purchases. And different from music streaming service, you own this audiobook purchased and downloaded from Audible even if you cancel your subscription. But it doesn’t mean that you can enjoy these Audible audiobooks on any of your devices freely.
