Review of OnTheGoBooks.com: An Audiobook Rental Service

I love reading. The problem is, books can be expensive and are time consuming to read. Audiobooks usually cost at least twice as much as the paperback version of the book. Going to the library to get books sounds like a good idea, but the audiobook selection at a public library tends to be very limited. With OnTheGoBooks.com you can have books mailed directly to your door! Sending them back is easy too, as they come in a pre-paid mailer.

With OnTheGoBooks.com you can have anywhere from one to four audiobooks at a time, depending on how much you read and how much you are willing to pay. OnTheGoBooks.com also offers discounts if you pre-pay 6 months at a time. So if you were to want one selection at a time, you would pay $16.95 per month normally, or it works out to $11.95 per month if you pre-pay for 6 months. Consider that audiobooks usually cost more than $20 each.

What I really loved about OnTheGoBooks.com is the convenience. I hate going to the post office and buying stamps. With OnTheGoBooks.com, books are mailed in a special mailer. When you send them back, the postage is already pre-paid. It is very easy and convenient.

OnTheGoBooks.com has a huge selection of titles to choose from. If they don't have a book you'd like to read, you can also request it. To select your books, you just pick about 10 books and add them to your rental list. If the first book on your list is unavailable, you'll get the next book in your list that is available. Return the book after you are done reading it, send it back, and you'll receive another. It's like the NetFlix of the audiobook world.

At OnTheGoBooks.com you will rediscover your love for reading. Now you can read audiobooks on CD in your car, at work, at home, wherever. Many audiobooks are even available on mp3 CD for your convenience. It's not a very expensive service, and sure beats buying audiobooks that you'll only read once anyway.
