WOW! Two bucks a month for unlimited listening is a steal. According to the email I received from Customer Service (see spoiler), this offer is targeted and may be $1.95 or $4.95/month and the offer will end in April or May. Once signed up, you stay on that special price forever.

So if you are not currently a member of Audible - on any of their plans - log out of your account and you may see this offer banner on the home page. Obviously this offer is not to everybody's taste as you get no credits and access to sales is hit or miss. I assume Audible's objective is to get you to upgrade to Premium Plus. But it suits me perfectly! I have a ton of books in my Library already and can now take my own sweet time to listen every now and then...

OK, so I joined and I don't see where I can actually download an audiobook. If this is only for streaming, then I may just cancel. Below is the item I would like to listen to:

https://www.audible.com/pd/The-Shado...FQAK64ZWTQEWV6

When I 'Select with Membership', I am brought to a screen to purchase the item and 'Start Now' - presumably after paying $7.00.

Perhaps I have misunderstood something...I'm new to the 'Audible Game', and much prefer reading than listening. (However, I will sometimes listen to a book being read.)

NOTE: I, too, was billed for the $1.95 per month. I'm using my Oasis (2019).
