It’s the same book, read by the same narrator as on Audible where it’s $40 or $15 with membership.
Pretty good deal, same book.

No reason not to be. It's a temporary promotion, not one of the Google play pirate books. (

They're probably not big enough for Audible to care.
For now.
I'm going to need lots of popcorn if they get big enough to matter:

Quote:
The Robinson–Patman Act of 1936 (or Anti-Price Discrimination Act, Pub. L. No. 74-692, 49 Stat. 1526 (codified at 15 U.S.C. § 13)) is a United States federal law that prohibits anticompetitive practices by producers, specifically price discrimination. It was designed to protect small retail shops against competition from chain stores by fixing a minimum price for retail products.
The law grew out of practices in which chain stores were allowed to purchase goods at lower prices than other retailers. An amendment to the Clayton Antitrust Act, it prevented unfair price discrimination for the first time, by requiring that the seller offer the same price terms to customers at a given level of trade.

This *could* be a variant of volume based pricing, where a retailer gets a small number of deep discount titles to sell and the sale ends when they run out of them. Price matching is usually the response.
Something new to watch for. Things were getting boring.
