Pros & Cons:

- Sync with Audible.com, Audible.co.uk, and Audible.de accounts
Cons
- Very small gripe: needs direct link to purchase sample audiobooks
Features:
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.
Usefulness:
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!
Ease of Use:
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.
Frequently Used:
User preference on frequency… however if you enjoy audiobooks then Audible for Android may very well increase that appetite.
Interface:
The user interface is intuitive, easy to control and navigate.
