That's a great idea, Michelle! I have gotten audiobooks from Cracker Barrel when I'm on a driving trip, but I never thought of just doing it at home. It is very inexpensive! Unfortunately, the CBs are both 45 min - 1 hr away from me. I could get a few of the books when I travel and download them for later on, though!
I have never heard of that! It is a great idea though - gets travelers to eat there each time they stop. I know there is a similar thing for truck drivers at various gas stations, but I have never done it.
Great idea - I've gotten them while traveling, but not occurred to me to do it locally. However, would their selection be as good as my local (free) library? We get such a wide selection of audiobooks, updated about every two weeks, via the library's usage of Overdrive at our library's online site.But still, worth a trip to the local CB just to see what they've got.
Just wondered if anyone gets audiobooks from Cracker Barrel? They carry maybe 30 different current titles that can be rented for $3.50 a week. Well, they charge you the entire price of the book at check out and when you bring it back they refund all but the $3.50.
I have uploaded them onto my ipod and taken them back the same week, so in theory it is a much better deal than audible.com.
I guess the drawback is the limited selection, but in the month that I have discovered the books the selection has turned over nicely. Additionally, the books can be dropped off at any Cracker Barrel in the US.
