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. |
I have KU so on that book, its a Amazon imprint, if I check it out through KU, I could listen to the audio for free. I can't tell you about the 1.99 because I haven't checked this book out with KU and it says if I buy the book I can add the narration for 1.99 to own.
I checked with a different Montlake title I actually do have checked out and on it it doesn't say anything at all about buying the audio book, just lists a price for audible on the left for like 11.99.
I know I bought a audio from a book in the past I had through KU for 1.99. Right now its not even showing anymore on the top that I checked out a book through KU in the past, it used to do that.
I don't really use audiobooks so I don't have much experience how it works to much. I bought the outlander audio on sale since I owned the books and they were cheaper. But I can't say about when checking out through KU. Those that offer audio at the same time as the book for loan say so. Most of those are amazon imprints. But you don't own them and when you return the book, they are gone along with the audio.
