Complete Review of Jiggerbug.com
Jiggerbug is the largest audio book rental site, also known as an audio book rental club, available on the internet. Instead of purchasing audio books or checking them out from your local library, Jiggerbug allows you to enjoy the convenience by letting you rent them from their web site and then they ship them to you - all for a reasonable monthly fee.
Site Functionality
Once you create your Jiggerbug account, you'll choose the audio books that you would like to be added to your rental queue. The audio books can be in CD, cassette, or MP3 format. Once your queue is complete, Jiggerbug will ship your audio books to you (or you can download them if choosing the MP3 option). Once you are through listening to your books, drop them in the mail with the included postage-paid envelope and the audio books that are next in your queue will be sent to you. There is no limit to the number of audio books that you can rent per month.
