08/06/2020, 2:48 PMI haven't listened to audiobooks yet but I think the format suits more for fiction. I could be wrong though!

08/06/2020, 2:48 PMIn fiction, all the Wheel of Time books are the best audiobooks of all time. Michael Kramer and Kate Reading, a husband wife duo, are phenomenal.
Take a look at reviews for the last 3 books:

08/06/2020, 2:49 PMIt wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that much of Audible's early success is due to this series.

08/06/2020, 3:27 PM+1 for anything from Stephen Fry . I really like everything from Neil Gaiman too because of his voice. I really liked World War z, A gentleman in Moscow and Red notice too

08/07/2020, 2:12 AMI have enjoyed the following non fiction on Audible.
I find it is important to get the narration right - else I just pick up the paper / kindle copy:
1. Atomic Habits - James Clear
2. Stuff Matters - Mark Miodownik
3. This is Marketing - Seth Godin
4. Sapiens - Yuval Harari
5. Mans Search for Meaning - Viktor Frankl
6. The Gardener and the Carpenter - Alison Gopnik

08/07/2020, 10:11 AM@victorious-energy-56764 @orange-kite-82153 If you are into fantasy, Stormlight Archives has way better audio (sound effects and everything) and is a better series (slightly subjective). Sadly it's not available either on Audible India.

08/07/2020, 10:24 AMbtw, people who are using Audible, have you tried out Storytel. I kindoff keep taking its 3 month subscription once or twice a year. Audible's 1 credit is too little for me, and I have found atleast half of the book on audible available on Storytel too (plus its unlimited books for Rs 600 for 3 months). The app sucks big time though
