There are three comments/other things that I want to say--the first two might actually be (marginally) useful; the last one is connected with a special contest. Instead of making three separate posts, I'm going to do it all in this one. (it's the second choice in the old "spread the pain out, or get it all over with at one time" conundrum. ha.)
#1
One is about the Audible sale.
Apparently, not just the full-fledged Audible members are eligible, but also those (like me) of membership ilks like the ListenerLighters. I'm a ListenerLighter, and I am eligible. But, it could be just that Jeff Bezos likes me.

Well, okay, there are actually two items about the Audible sale. ha. Here's the second.

Okay, I know that none of you have been waiting with bated breath for the contest. ha. Well, here it is, anyway. The first person to come up with the correct answer will win a very special prize!* The contest begins with a story.
A company which sold both paper books and ebooks had a habit of using any possible occasion (like clearancing old merchandise to bring in new merchandise) or specious excuse (like some marginally noteworthy holiday or other special day of the year) to conduct a sale.
Well, one day, their ruses were exposed for what they were. The company advertised, in an email message to customers, a clearance sale on a large selection of ebooks.
Think you know the answer? Then, send it in! The announcement of the winner will be in maybe a day or two or something.
* In the event of a tie, or something out of the ordinary like that, a panel of judges (well, okay, it's just me. ) will the final arbiter as to who wins, blah, blah, blah.
Please post your answer on this thread, so that everyone will know that things are all aboveboard!
