The latest Iteration I discovered 2 days ago, a audio service(via Amazon), where you have limited time for listening. So I get to listen to that new audiobook, but see my 10 h contingent decrease every second I listen. Creates a new vibe for me.

Libraries had the same count down, but it just wasn't in your face. If you returned a book after the agreed time, they charged you late fees. These guys just cut off access to it. They should have a late fee equivalent where you can extend the time without having to pay the full rental rate again.

		Maybe I was not clear, but the counter only ran while it was playing. That is something completely different to me, as it limits replaying. Having access for 14 days lile a boo kwould be something very different and more OK with me. But limiting the act of playing that audio itself has a new quality for me.

Ughh, I hate the sound of that. Hard pass, I'll find whatever it is and download the darn thing or create an audiobook from it if need be

		Yes, but recording the audio is annoying, but currently what I will do ... (DRM of course) Edit: but apparently I was wrong and the "countdown" was just the time left of the audiobook. But the mobile UI was stuttering, so that wasn't clear. But thinking about it, I am surprised it ain't implemented yet for real.
