Apart from the discount on ebooks, BookOnBoards offers discount on audiobooks. They claim that it is 40-50% and that it will last till the end of the month.
Unofrtunately, they don't have a dedicated section for audiobooks, so browsing them is a little tricky. You can search by publisher and you will get, which can then be listed in categories. There are some ommissions (some titles, which are on offer, but do not show in the listing), however, so it is just a workaround.

When searching for the following publishers, you can get a list of their audiobooks:

Blackstone Audio, Inc.
Random House Audio
Books on Tape
Tantor Media
Brilliance Audio
Simon & Schuster Audio
Dreamscape Media LLC (I am not sure their books have discounts because most of them are >$15).
Hachette Audiobooks
AudioGO Ltd
Penguin Audio
Listen & Live Audio, Inc.
Recorded Books, LLC

Another option to browse is to actually find the book on Audible and check if BooksOnBoard have it too (sometimes they don't, Audible have more books at the time).

I haven't personally downloaded any audiobooks from BooksOnBoard, because it requires Overdrive Media Console, which I can't get to work under Linux with Wine and the Android app is not very functional.
