At that, the price of WhisperSync deals can add up to the required sum fairly rapidly, although I realize you have to listen to something in the meantime!

For audiobooks, the Brooklyn Public Library is a lot better than the Free Library of Philadelphia. I've been extremely disappointed lately with the meager number of Overdrive audiobook acquisitions at FLP; I only renewed my FLP membership because of Hoopla for the occasional audiobook and Freading for e-books. Even for e-books, FLP Overdrive hasn't been great recently; there've been extremely long waiting lists.
