Here is how ridiculous they have gotten. From my test sample of one. I owned a title (The Gemini Effect) which now has audio included when you check it out via KU. Tried to do that on my phone, no check out button, just "read now" whereupon you may buy the audio companion for 1.99. Good price, yeah, but I want the free version. So, had to go into my Amazon account and delete the book from my account. Then, I was able to successfully check the book out. In the book app, still says "buy the companion", but in the Audible app, it was there to download.
Ok, now that I downloaded the book through Audible, when I go to Books, the Play button is there. So that is something. Seems like some unnecessary hoops to jump through, though.
How I wish there was a place where one could easily rent audio books for a cheap price. (I've looked at downpour, anything I search for is not rentable). Scribd is too expensive for me, as I don't enjoy reading books in their app, I may do them again in the future, but $9 a month to rend one audio book seems like a lot (yes you can rent others, but it's not simple enough for me). I pay less than that per month for the Brooklyn library, and they have a much better selection of audio books.
You can rent movies for $3, why can't they do that for audiobooks?
