Yes, but if you buy the Kindle book first, the Audible book is greatly reduced in price. I had an Audible account for the past few years, and I wasn't able to get the Kindle versions for a reduced price. Plus, when I tried to add an Audible book, because I already had an Audible account with unused credits, I wasn't offered the reduced price, I could only use my credits. My Audible plan was for one credit a month@ $15 ea. If I bought a Kindle book afterwards for $10, I would spend $25 for both the ebook & audiobook. Without an Audible account, I could buy the Kindle book for $10, then add the Audible book for $4, for a total cost of $14, which is less than what I was paying Audible for just the audiobook!
Coincidentally, if you didn't have an Audible plan, and just bought the audio book outright, it would probably cost as much as a full priced hardcover and for really long books, a lot more!

It's edited now... I was wondering while I wrote my first version about what a weird name "whispersync" is for something that talks to you  |
LOL... All of Amazons names for their services are a little confusing. Whispernet, Whispersync, Immersion.... It's hard to keep up!

Mrs_Often you're just a mess today! LOL... but I love your enthusiasm!
