1) Subscription service is what makes the books so cheap for the really expensive ones, but I regularly purchase books that are $30+ when they are first released.

2) Kindle book included would be great however I think the cross licensing would be difficult and distribution of income would cut their margins considerably.

3) UI improvement is a must! I have over 200 books and it is a nightmare to find anything on the mobile app.

I use credits for books that cost more then $12 and I buy with credit any book that costs more. I buy those 3 credits for ~$35 packages as needed. It's really cool that any book on audible has a maximum price much lower then if you were not a subscriber.
