Oh, I know it was a joke!

But to stray OT again--I just ordered the Moto E. I figured, what the heck. If I goes on sale next week, I'll be annoyed, but a sale after that won't bother me--I don't want to wait.

It looks be a big upgrade from what I have; I'll be able to use the apps and try out KU with narration, my library's Axis 360 audiobooks, Amazon Prime music, etc. It does have a card slot, too.

Since it has no front-facing camera, I won't be able to inflict selfies on the unsuspecting world--another plus!

I don't mind OT at all. Since we don't have an audiobook forum, discussing anything to do with audiobooks is appropriate for this thread.

Does anyone have any comments on Todays daily deal,
Quote:
Neverwhere [Adaptation] Written by: Neil Gaiman Narrated by: Christopher Lee, James McAvoy, Natalie Dormer, David Harewood, Sophie Okonedo, Benedict Cumberbatch, Anthony Head
I notice that it's an adaption so I assume it is not the full text of the book. I've not read any Gaimans books before and wondered if I would be missing much by grabbing this rather than the original text.

It's a full cast audio play; a dramatization. Therefore, it's abridged. BBC does this all the time.

Check out these BBC Radio stations and sample some of the books they do. Most of it can be found on BBC Radio 4 and BBC Radio 4extra.

I listened to the unabridged version read by Gaiman himself and it was fun. It was 12+ hours and the abridged version is basically a long play at under 4 hours, so they would be very different experiences.

Oh wow! So much for compulsively checking the Daily Deals - today I didn't (but I did check this thread! Ha! Priorities!!). And, make me a liar that I am always disappointed - not so with this one.

Chalk up one more for the buy bucket for me. I almost spent one of the recent $10 Credits that I qualified for on this adaptation... I am a fan of audio dramatizations really... so to pick it up for $1.95 is great.

Ummm.... I presume there is somewhere to listen online ?? Answer: no I don't.

Dare I ask where or shall I save you googling it for me and just go look up how and where for myself

Thanks Synamon & tubemonkey I think I'll give it a miss I have a teeny amount of promo credit to spend which expires soon but I think I'll hold out for something better to come along

I have it permanently linked in the OP under "other Offers" and "other Sources"

It's in dire need of updating; which I'll get around to in the next day or two.

...and also a few posts up.

I can't answer about this specific phone model, but I can do that with a my Samsung Galaxy S3, so I would assume you can. It might be worth a trip to an AT&T store to ask them?

Yes it will certainly connect to a computer.

If you can find an app to suit your purpose is another matter. I use the audible app and an mp3 player if that answers your question.
