Even if you never go to
Google Play, you might want to pay a visit now, especially if you have never bought an audiobook from them before.
The reason is that they are currently offering "$5 off your first audiobook over $5."
Well, I have never bought an audiobook from them, so I guess that I'm eligible. So, I'm going to head on over there as soon as I get through letting you all know about the deal.
The fine print: "Valid for $5 discount against the current store price of an audiobook from eligible titles on Google Play. Discount may only be applied to eligible titles with an on store price greater than $5 before tax is imposed. Open to participants based on purchase history. Credit applied at checkout. Valid in United States only."
The one thing--well, make that two things--that mitigates my interest in the deal is 1) the $5 off is only on "eligible titles." It remains to be seen whether or not the "eligible titles" are any good; and 2) $5 may not end up being much of a discount if the audioboooks are over-priced to begin with.
