Established
in 2004, Jiggerbug is an online audiobook rental company based in Los Angeles, California.
Jiggerbug's rental programs were designed to allow active people to make the
most of their time by listening to their favorite books at home or on the go.
Jiggerbug's rental packages provide
audiobook lovers with a simple and economical alternative to purchasing
numerous audiobooks, and a more practical alternative to renting from
inconvenient brick and mortar locations with limited selections. The home
delivery system is also ideal for visually impaired people, as well individuals
with limited mobility or limited access transportation.
Whether they're exercising, driving,
cleaning house, hiking, cooking, running marathons, dropping the kids off at
school, or even rock climbing, Jiggerbug empowers their Members to take advantage of all the time in
their busy schedule and expand their world with audiobooks.
How
It Works
Jiggerbug members simply create a wish
list ("Queue") of their favorite audiobook titles. The first available title in
each Queue is shipped via first class mail – both outbound and return shipping
is free. Members may keep each title for as long as they choose, with no due
dates or late fees. After listening to their audiobook, Members simply return
it in the prepaid envelope provided by Jiggerbug. Once the returned book is
received, Jiggerbug ships the next title in the Member's Queue.
Downloads
Jiggerbug also offers instant downloads of
digital audiobooks in WMA format. Members simply install free software provided
by Jiggerbug that allows them to download audiobooks to play back on their
computer, or upload to a WMA-compatible MP3 player. Each digital download can
be "checked out" for 14 days, at which time the file expires and is added back
to the digital library for other Members to "check out".
Library
Jiggerbug members enjoy the largest
collection of rental audio titles available anywhere. If Members want to learn
a foreign language during their daily commute, Jiggerbug has audiobook lessons
in common languages like Spanish and French, as well as Serbo-Croatian and
Indonesian. If they want to catch up on the hottest fiction titles, Members can
rent audiobooks from authors like James Patterson, C.S. Lewis, Dan Brown, and
J.K. Rowling. Our collection also features titles from gurus ranging from the
Dalai Lama and Deepak Chopra to Tony Robbins and Stephen Covey. Other popular
subjects include biographies, fitness and health, financial planning, real
estate investing, political humor, and classic literature. We also feature
titles from Oprah's Book Club and New York Times Bestsellers. If we don't have
an audiobook listed, our Members can simply request the title and we'll order
it.*
Discounts
Jiggerbug's Corporate Discount Program
allows employers to encourage
their staff to enrich their lives with audiobooks. Rather than arriving at work
frazzled from their morning commute, employees can spend their mornings
learning the art of happiness from The Dalai Lama, or the next steps to
financial freedom from Suzie Orman, or a highly effective habit from Steven
Covey. Jiggerbug also offers discounts to military families and educators.
Environmental
Responsibility
Jiggerbug
cares about the environment and encourages our members to do the same. In
addition to supporting their members' efforts to "go paperless" by borrowing
audiobooks rather than purchasing paper copies, Jiggerbug also recycles all of
its paper waste, plastic CD packaging, and broken CDs.

titles may be out of print or unavailable in audiobook format. |
