I have to commend Audible for some great customer service.  I got a free trial subscription for them from iPodlounge. I decided to cancel the subscription yesterday, right before I had to pay for another month.  I expected to go through hell and high water in order to get them to cancel it.  But one phone call later, about 2 minutes after I got ( Read more... )
