Audiobooks.com, the popular destination for audio books, has started an unlimited subscription package.
For $25 per month, the company will give you unlimited access to 11,000 audio books either through the website or an HTML5 mobile app.
The company's more popular rival, Audible, has a monthly membership, but users pay a certain fee for "credits" to access a certain amount of books.
Despite being the first company to offer an unlimited package for audio books, there are certainly tradeoffs if you are a current Audible member. Audible has 100,000 titles and only "three of the top five New York Times bestselling non-fiction books and two of the five bestselling fiction books are available on" Audiobooks, compared to all 10 on Audible, says Mash.
Additionally, Audible books are downloadable and kept while Audiobooks expire when you stop paying.
