Swagbucks is the way to go. It's how I buy sooo many books and my gadgets and my kitties supplies from Amazon. I just wish they had Audible gift cards. I do Bing also but I get Swagbucks from it and then cash out for Amazon gift card.

It's sad to hear that the library borrowing Audible discount no longer works.

I do Swagbucks for the searches, but every time I tried to do a survey, I never qualified. Frustrating after I spent time going through all the pages and then told I don't qualify, so I stopped doing the surveys.

Yeah you need to be in the right demographic for surveys. I usually get 2 to 3 in a day if I try hard enough if not there is plenty other things like the mobile apps, encraves and special offers. I don't do searches as I seldom win anymore.

I have not gotten a search win on my PC since they changed the search engine, only wins have come from the Android app. (We need an OT SB thread in these here parts. LOL)

Anyway, back on topic, I will miss the OD Whispersync deals. I've acquired several favorite series that way!

I don't often bother with Swagbucks surveys, I almost always get disqualified after entering an overwhelming amount of data. I search, do the Encrave activities, the video special offers on Radium One, and use the Mobile TV app on my iPad and Entertain Now app on my Nexus 7 to get my daily swagbucks minimum. I generally get enough Swagbucks monthly to get the 5 $5 Amazon gift certificates and enough to get about half of a $50 Paypal gift certificate.

I wouldn't bother with any of it if I wasn't standing in front of my iMac for several hours per day anyhow.

Email from Audible re a new BOGO sale. Didn't see anything I had a burning desire for, drat. I was hoping for another Liaden book, but oh well...

Offering is not very appealing at all, I notice a lot of them are whispersync titles that I have previously picked up for $2-$5

I highly recommend Linwood Barclay's Trust Your Eyes, which is included in the thriller section.

That's the only one that really took my fancy having trouble finding anything to pair it with only candidate so far is Hostage by Robert Crais.

For the Audible BOGO sale, I'd strongly recommend the Deborah Crombie A Share in Death. It's the first book in the Duncan Kincaid/Gemma James series, which is one of the better British police detective series.

I actually found something! The romance selection isn't too bad on this one.
Make that two somethings. 4 books for 2 credits is great!

BTW, the Recorded Books Humble Bundle has reached its half-way point so new titles were added today. If you've already paid the "more than the average price" tier you just got more downloads. If you were on the fence on this one the new titles might be enough to push you over the edge.

Thanks skinmaan.

For the Mobilereaders' convenience, here is the URL of the website, again: https://www.humblebundle.com/books.

That is a very attractive website IMHO, BTW. I want to send kudos to the webmaster.

Audible's Deal of the Day today is Alex Marwood's Wicked Girls.

On a fateful summer morning in 1986, two 11-year-old girls meet for the first time. By the end of the day, they will both be charged with murder. Twenty-five years later, journalist Kirsty Lindsay is reporting on a series of sickening attacks on young female tourists in a seaside vacation town when her investigation leads her to interview carnival cleaner Amber Gordon. For Kirsty and Amber, it's the first time they've seen each other since that dark day so many years ago. Now with new, vastly different lives - and unknowing families to protect - will they really be able to keep their wicked secret hidden?

I liked this one a lot, especially the way the details of the day of the killing are gradually revealed.

Perfect I've been waiting for something good to come along as I have a $5 credit on my account
