Pros
Cons
Audible for Android is a great audio book client that reads books to you! For starters you get a handful of free excerpt teasers enticing you to sign up and download other free audiobooks or pay for them. The app is loaded with cool features aside from core audio player controls; features such as syncing with Audible.com, Audible.co.uk, and Audible.de accounts, shop for audiobooks within the app, audiobook details, chapter navigation, ability to create bookmarks and jot notes, sleep-timer, sharing books read with social sharing apps, plus Button-free mode which will allow you to navigate, play and pause without having to search for or press a button.
I really like the virtual incentives like Listening Level meter that grows as you listen to more books, plus virtual badges awarded. If you dig more into the Stats you can get a novelty timer and various graph charts of you reading progress by current, daily, monthly and grand total.
Audiobooks are great for those like myself, too busy to take the moment and read a physical book or e-reader. I find audiobooks great while preparing for bed, commuting, or driving. Great huh! Safely read a book while driving!
All of the work is virtually done for you regarding the act of reading, however there are some features you can take advantage of such as Button-free mode, some of the stats tools, and social sharing of audiobooks read.
One thing I wish were easier was a link to purchase sample excerpt audiobooks directly from the main player controls. This would have to be purchased through your Audible account accessible by pressing Menu button » Shop within the app.
User preference on frequency… however if you enjoy audiobooks then Audible for Android may very well increase that appetite.
The user interface is intuitive, easy to control and navigate.

Should you Download Audible for Android? Yes! Audiobook reader that is a must have for anyone, especially bookworms!

But will it play audiobooks that I can download from the library or only books from audible?
Only those from Audible
I have been an audible member almost since inception and have over 500 books in my library. I have gone through at least six different brands of mp3 players. I got my new android phone (MyTouch 4G) when my BB lost its blu tooth capabilities but did not intend to use it for audible books. However, I find it so slick that I have abandoned my latest MP3 player and am using it exclusively. If you want to stretch the charge and are not expecting calls, I find that putting it in airplane mode provides excellent battery life. Sound quality is excellent.
