I appreciate the heads up on this. So far only one of my wishlist titles has gone up, but the writing seems to be on the wall. I just have to find the time to sit down with my ample wishlist and see which are available elsewhere (OD, Hoopla) and which Whispersync priced books I need to grab now. Reminds me of how I was caught short when the OD wrinkle ended; there had been many books where I planned to borrow the Kindle book to get the Whispersync price on the audio. Had I but known, I would have bought a ton of books while I could.
For a few bucks, I'd frequently prefer to buy an audiobook rather than borrow it, since it meant I could listen on demand and at my own speed. But credits are far too dear to be wasted on books I can get elsewhere or on anything but high-priority books. I understand why Amazon is cracking down on the deals, but I do wonder about price elasticity. A lot of us are buying fewer, if pricier, books.
