I love libro.fm too, I picked it up maybe a year ago. Credit systems aren't my favorite but getting files DRM free is perfect for my standards.
And they at least let you keep any credits you have even if you cancel your sub. Such a simple thing makes them much nicer to even try out. Audible tosses them if they aren't spent before canceling. The only thing going against them is just the smaller library of books since they don't offer anything with DRM. Which I am completely fine with, and they do seem to be getting more titles.
I do wish that they wouldn't list books that they don't have. Always gets my hopes up just to see I can't get them. It is a similar issue with Google and even Amazon's various services. Will see books, shows, and movies pop-up when I am searching for something and see a result that is "Unavailable." It is weird though that it doesn't happen with everything I search on either service.
