It’s harder to do a search on Audible. I went to browse, history, European, and advanced search. Imagine my surprise when my options were new releases, last 30 days and coming soon. Hmmn.

Hmmm, indeed. I like Audible a lot. I spend a considerable amount of time traveling, and it’s often easier to listen while on the move and read while stationary. There are 2 titles on audible that I recently finished that were REALLY good. The New Right, By: Michael Malice (language warning) was a fantastic “listen”. Tragedy and Hope 101 by: Joseph Plummer. If you want some fun prepper books, I can recommend those too.
I read A. American, perhaps on your advice? I found myself listening to more than one. They were fun. I also listened to Tragedy and Hope 101. I thought it was great. How useful in relation to the full text I don’t know. Thanks for the book recommendations. Thomas Sowell books on Audible are great too. Robertson Dean has a great reading voice.
Well I am chronically suspicious and any AMZ platform should be approached with due caution. If kindlized or similar books can be subject to alteration, just think of “audiobooks”. A search for podcasts, recordings, lectures etc. on specific topics can be done on general search engines, and with time one can identify the websites or channels that seem to be more or less reliable. Now fiction presented by a great reading voice or voices is another matter. And by the way, children, once upon a time there was RADIO DRAMA and there are a lot of old recordings of this available on the web.
I’m definately going to search for these! Thank you for pointing it out Dana. Which are your favourites?
Depends on your area of interest. For anything regarding history, papers and sometimes full books available on archive dot org and academia dot eu. And all of these papers etc. have a list of references. In the case of the latter website they have complicated direct search (figures!) so for example if you want to know about agriculture in the time of Charlemagne you can insert in one or more seach engines the words Charlemagne, agriculture, academia. Might sound tiresome but with a little persistence pays off.
The algos designed to “help” you have worsened the general search engines, sometimes even using quotation marks to indicate that you want that exact phrase does not give immediate results. On the other hand, such exact searches can be done on institutional websites such as national archives in various countries, a number of Universities, the L. of Congress and the British L.
