I can't pass them up when they're on sale, if they are on subjects that I'm interested in and--this is all important--have very good reviews and ratings (I also try to look over the previews of the ebook version, but I don't always get that done).
I don't know how many other people are like this, but I'm more of a library-builder than a person who buys an audiobok when I actually want to listen to that particular book. When I want something to listen to, I look around my libraries (Audible, Downpour,
et al.), find something that piques my interest, and start listening.
Here's a problem that occurs, though, because of my buying pattern: I sometimes forget that I have already bought the audiobook, and end up buying it again! There is a retailer or too that will lock me out from purchasing an audiobook a second time, or at least ask me if I really want to buy that audiobook again. But, most don't. And if I'm buying from a different retailer, well I get no warning at all, of course. In the situation where one or both are CD's, I'm going to put one on eBay one of these days. I hope that I don't find that I have three (or more!) copies of the same audiobook! Sometimes I wish that I had a photographic memory . . . .
