Audible Badges

There is nothing better than sitting down with a book. Whether it is before going to bed, on a lunch break, or on a Friday night because sometimes a good sci-fi novel is better than listening to the same repetitive beats at a club. I’d rather read than just about anything, but sometimes it isn’t physically possible. I spend a lot of time in my car, for work and driving to visit family and I often used to feel like that was hours of time wasted. Music is great, but on drives that are hours or sometimes days in length it gets a little old. When I was little on road trips, my mom used to get us books on tape, mainly so that she wouldn’t have to listen to me and my brother bicker. Now, I use audible. It is one of my absolute favorite apps. One of the features of the app are Badges. Now, they don’t actually get you anything, but it is always fun to get milestones and see what kind of listener you are. Here are, to my knowledge, a list of what each badge is for and how to get it. Keep in mind though, if you switch phones it will reset all your data, and you with restart with no badges.
