No promo codes, but you can buy any one audiobook for $6.95 (limit one). |
Thanks for the code, I'll use it to give them a try. Looking at their catalog, however, makes me leery. They seem to have a lot of series where there are only one or two books in the series, but not the full series. That just doesn't work for me. OTOH, they have a lot of books read by Donada Peters/Nadia May/Wanda McCaddon. She's one of my all time favourite readers.
But just as an example of the issues - they have a fair number of Ian Rankin's Rebus books, but some are abridged (NOT interested) and they are read by at least 4 different readers. And they still don't manage to have them all.
Looking at Tor books, I see David Weber's
Safehold series. Let's see... Hunh. They have two out of six books in the series, with two narrators. And not even the first book in the series. Compare that with Audible.com, and all six books are there, though admittedly with 3 or 4 different narrators. (One of which overlaps with the Downpour site, but the other does not.)
