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. Carol |

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.

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.

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?

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. :-)

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