With all "play pretends," there is some amount of truth in them. So it is with this one.
Let's say that a customer has Amazon Prime. Let's say that he/she sees a Kindle Unlimited book that interests him/her, and he/she wants to borrow it. So, he/she borrows it.
Of greater interest to this customer, however, is the Whispersync _audio_ companion that goes with the book. Questions:
1) Can the customer borrow the Whispersync audio during the time that he/she is borrowing the Kindle Unlimited book?
2) Can he/she _buy_ the Whispersync audio, and at the Whispersync audio companion price, while he/she is borrowing the book?
We assume, of course, that if he/she purchases it, he/she can then _keep_ the Whispersync audio in perpetuity.
The savings could be big. Let's say that the Whispersync audio is at $7.49, a common price point. That price is a lot cheaper than he/she could get it by buying it outright at Audible, or even using a purchased credit or one that comes with his/her plan each month.
You may have guessed that customer, to whom I referred, is me.

You can choose kindle unlimited books with whispersync companions (that let you borrow them), and you have to return those at the end of your KU membership (I never stay a member for long). And I've also bought whispersync companions while borrowing books that you can only borrow the ebook. You get to keep those because you purchased the audio. At least that seems to be the way it used to work as I remember it. I definitely keep a list of KU books I want to borrow for the audio as well as books I want to buy next time I happen upon a KU deal. There's a KU deal right now, but I'm a little backed up on my listening, so I'm skipping it.
