Does anyone use Zinio or Audible?

Zino is a service that gives you the ability to purchase and download magazines to your computer. You can either go with a subscription or purchase magazines individually which is great.

Audible is what I use to download Audio Books or stand up comedies. I love to use this service when I go on long trips and they support a number of mp3 players which is a good thing.

I am just curious to find out if anyone else uses these great services.

Same here. I like to pick individual copies of Digital Camera World and Computer Arts.

I use Audible. Great service. I know SirFozzie does, as well, although he's been with 'em a lot longer than I have. If anybody's interested in trying the service out, head to http://www.roxio.audible.com, they've got a promotion for new subscribers that'll give you three free audiobooks to get started (and a free one-month trial of AudibleListener, that may end up being 4 free books without having to actually pay for anything).

I've used Zino in the past to get single magazines. I don't have any subscriptions.

I used to use Audible. I signed up to see if AudioBooks were something that would interest me, and found out they don't. I did get most of the Dark Tower series though, so I should eventually make my way through them. I just don't drive long enough distances anymore to really get use out of them. It took me over a week of going to and coming back from work just to get an hour and a half into the first one.

I'm sure I'll get my value out of them at some point, but I canceled it for now.

I started using Audible a month or so ago based on SA's recommendation in another thread. I'm really enjoying it.

I use Audible. The wife and I both have a monthly subscription to the service. It's great. We download the books onto the PC and put them on the Ipod. My wife listens to books when doing work around the house, cooking, cleaning, or when we go on trips. It's great. It got her into the George RR Martin series, so I aint complainin'.
