An excellent book. I think it won a Pulitzer. I've "read" it via audio CD. I'm really glad to get an ebook for such a nice price.
Alas, Theodore Rex was not on sale at amazon.ca (still $CDN 13.99)  |
You are correct about the book winning the Pulitzer Prize. It also won the National Book Award.
The Amazon webpage in the U.S.,
http://www.amazon.com/Rise-Theodore-...osevelt+morris, at least, shows, in the list of other formats available, the price for the "Audible Audio Edition, Unabridged Edition" (this is "Whispersync-ready") as
$0.00. Something is awry. If you follow the link, you get a page that says that the audiobook is
$26.95 (although in the list of other formats, it shows the price as
$0.00 again!). The "Whispersync for Voice"-->"Add Narration" box shows the price as
$3.99, but if you follow the link, you will get the same webpage (or one that looks the same) If you go directly to the Audible webpage for the audiobook, it shows a price of
$26.95, with no mention of a Whispersync price that I can see.
I don't mean to be
here. The reason that I wrote all of that is that I thought that some adventurous soul might want to call Audible or Amazon and see if they would honor the
$0.00 price or at least the
$3.99 one, should he or she be willing to pay that latter price. If you do try it, good luck!
