Sometimes I'll buy a Kindle book I want that's on sale and find there's a huge discount if I also get the audiobook with it. I don't listen to many audiobooks anymore but if it's a book I think my sister might enjoy I'll buy it too. That's pretty much the same thing as buying a card for a certain book for her, at least in principle.

She listens to some. Some are just wasted money. I used to listen to audiobooks a lot. I still do now and then but not often so I probably won't listen to them. But I don't plan to stop doing it.

I'm sure she could take the attitude that if I was a good brother I'd buy her a Cadillac, but she's not like that. If she was I think I'd trade her in for a better sister.
