What's better than curling up on the couch with a fine glass of wine, a fire crackling away in the hearth, and a good book lying across your lap? Right, pretty much nothing.

But I'm willing to bet you don't often have the luxury of time permitting that near-perfect evening, so let's talk about the real world instead.

In the real world, audio books allow us to squeeze in books even despite the rigors of our schedule, and with Audible you get access to a massive catalog of fiction, nonfiction, memoir, history, and all the rest of it.

But to enjoy those books, you need to pay for them. So here's how to do it.
