I'm offered the option to buy the audiobook just fine. It offers me the option to get it with a credit by signing up for Audible or below that to buy it outright for $19.95

Good.

There has been a change, though. Until very, very recently, the _price_ of the audio narration was put with other pricing information (Kindle price, CD (if there was one)), wasn't it? If I understand you correctly, if a person clicks on the thumbnail or a more obvious link, he/she is taken to a webpage for the Kindle ebook and is there shown the "cash" price?

Even if a price of $19.95 shows up, that sounds like a full retail price, not a discounted price like we used to get (frequent price points $7.49 and $12.49--I never remember one nearly as expensive as $19.95!).

And, I noticed that there are no Whispersync narration deals on any of the ebooks on the webpage that I initially posted. In the past, if there was an Audible audiobook (not CD, etc.) available, wasn't there, again, a "cash" price shown for it so that the person buy both the ebook and the audiobook, making a Whispersync deal? Now, even though the ebook and audiobook may be listed, there is nothing on the webpage about a Whispersync deal (based upon scanning the webpage visually several times, and doing a Ctrl+F search of the entire webpage. I also did a Ctrl+F search for "Audible narration," which words used to be with books that had Whispersync deals; there was nothing; the only instances of "Audible" were for "Audible audibook."

I hope that you're right, but I smell a rat.

I gave the entire results page because of what I said in paragraph #2 of my initial post about the "whole webpage," etc. There was not just one book in question. Maybe my post above will explain the rationale, too.
