OIC.
I might try that strategy when it's late in the day before I see and can post a deal of the day that I run across.

I take into consideration how much the percentage-off is, too. But, about $4.95 is the maximum that I'll pay, regardless.
Not to start any rumors, but sometimes when companies are in trouble, especially in having insufficient cash flow, they will try raising prices, or reducing promotional prices, to compensate. That never works in a free market. I'm surprised that a lot of audiobook, as well as some ebook, companies haven't already bit the dust, bought the ranch, started pushing up daisies, however you want to put it. The market seems over-saturated with ebook vendors. Someone must be buying something from them. About 90% of my purchases of "secular" audiobooks now, is from Audible, with almost all of the rest going to Downpour and Tantor. I mean to exclude companies like ChristianAudio when I say "secular."
