Whispersync and Audible books

A couple of questions:

1. If you rent/borrow an ebook from Amazon with your Prime membership can you still buy the audible book at the discounted price?

2. The sync between the ebook and audible is only available on the new Fire HD correct?

Thanks.

No on any newer Kindle you sync back and forth. If you borrow a book from someone or from a library you do get the discounted audible price.

Will you get the discounted price for ebooks you get from the Prime Lending Library also?

With this new Whispersync and Immersive Reading feature, I am wondering if it is financially feasible to keep the monthly Audible plan or switch to the $9.95/year plan and just buy the books I want at the member's price.

It's the AudibleListener Light Plan. It's $9.95/year and the Basic Plan is free. The Basic Plan is no longer available. It was replaced by the Light Plan.

Quote:
AudibleListener Light Plan. The AudibleListener Light Plan is available only on an annual basis and only to Gold and Platinum Members who want to downgrade their plan type. AudibleListener Light Plan members do not receive membership credits but a Gold or Platinum Member converting to the AudibleListener Light Plan may have AudibleListener Rollover Credits that they can rollover when they downgrade. Audible will charge members who downgrade to the AudibleListener Light Plan the yearly plan fee each year on the yearly renewal date.

Basic Membership Plan. The Basic Membership Plan is available only to existing Basic Members. The Basic Membership is no longer available to new or Gold and Platinum AudibleListener Members. Any changes to the Basic Membership Plan will be communicated to existing Basic Members by Audible.

It's offered to you when you cancel a monthly membership plan. You can't sign up for it directly.

It is not listed on their website under plans, however when you select the option to cancel your membership, they will give you this option. You get all the benefits of membership except you do not get any monthly credits. This would work for those users who want to purchase occasional books. I did this with my husband's account in August, I am thinking about cancelling mine and switching to this plan also.

Is the Light Plan available after a trial membership? Or do you need to maintain a monthly paid account for a while?

Should be offered to you when you cancel a trial membership. My husband cancelled his trial and was first offered 3 more months for half price and when he said no to that then he was offered the yearly $9.95 plan.

Btw, you don't need an Audible membership plan to take advantage of whispersync for voice and the corresponding discounted Audible audiobooks, just an Audible account.

Yes, that's very nice. Got a bunch of classic freebies that way. And have purchased some other discounted titles I already owned in Kindle format. :-)

It is for this reason alone I am considering getting rid of my monthly plan. In fact I sent Audible an email asking them what would be the benefit of keeping the plan since I can get the membership prices with the Whispersync. I am seriously considering getting rid of it when my Harlequin Blaze expires in December.

I have an audible yearly contract because when I bought my Ipod Touch they discounted the Touch for paying monthly for Audible. SO I have one or two more months left, then can I convert to the $9.95 yearly amount? Or do I have to cancel it? I don't think I can since I signed up for the year though.

If I want a audible book from Amazon to go with a Kindle book do I have to have an Audible account.

You have to have an account, I don't think you have to have a membership plan.
