I am very disappointed. I specifically checked out my 1 book a month book just so I could listen for free to the audio book. Or buy it for $1.99. Sorry, no such luck. I thought that was do-able, but maybe things changed. Yeah I can do text to speech for the book, but not professional narration, and the audio shows as $7.41, not $1.99. I am irritated. So borrowing no longer counts as a buy? Are they going to start doing that with public library book borrows, too? If a person gets it via KU, I'm sure they can listen with professional narration, but can they buy the audio for $1.99?

This is troubling....

The book in question is Consumed by Fire.

I don't want to sub to KU, as I don't like reading in the Kindle app. I read in epub format.
