I know but just like all my Kindle books are Alf'd as soon as I purchase them despite reading on a Kindle, I'd prefer my audiobooks to be liberated too even if I only use the Audible app.

I understand. I always liberate eBooks whenever I get them, it's part of my normal workflow getting them in to Calibre. But for audiobooks, I usually wait and batch them, since the whole process is much more of a pain. (I generally don't normally download aax format books, since they're so much larger than .aa books. )

I use anything that costs $2.99 or less to get an audiobook. Since this series never goes on sale, I have to rely on promos that range in price from free to $2.99 per credit to get the books. These promos more than likely come out of Audible's advertising budget, hence they're not true purchases. Without these promos or Whispersync deals, my buying at Audible would come to a screeching halt; even if it means leaving a series uncompleted. |

And you are assuming that all lost sales are hurting Amazon's bottom line? Think again. Amazon would be perfectly happy to reinvest some of their profits and create lost sales that might have otherwise resulted in a sale with a competitor. |
