I was checking today's Daily Deal to see how the combined WhisperSync price compared to the Deal price, but I was unable to find the relevant Kindle edition (in part because of Amazon's insistence in returning titles in your result that are not the one you searched for).

This was academic only, as I don't really want to listen to Crime and Punishment, but it's an irritating policy on Amazon's part and I'm not sure I see the point. If I can't find the linked Kindle book, you can be darned sure I'm not getting the Audible book.
Not being a current member, I tested the Kindle edition of the book I own and it listed another version of the audiobook for only $1.99.

So if you're a member and own this particular version of the Kindle book, you can either pay $6.95 for the James Anderson Foster narration (20.7 hrs) or $1.99 for the Alan Munro narration (25.1 hrs). Other variations are also a probability.

Since I already own this audiobook, I won't be getting the $1.99 version.
