I was scanning through my wishlist in the Kindle store I saw that on the Kindle page for Goliath by Scott Westerfeld, in the Formats box the Audible book is listed as $5.95. I found to buy at that price I had to click Buy Now from the Goliath webpage and it opened in Audible listed at a regular price of $5.95. If I logged in to my Audible account first and searched for the book by title, it gave a regular price of $24.49. I didn't have to buy the Kindle book first (and it isn't listed as a Whispersync for Voice book anyway).

Most strange. I got the same results. Maybe it's a sale from Kindle?

Anyway, great find - added to OP

Important Reminder concerning the Amazon Local offer

• Free Voucher for $10 to Spend at Audible

This offer has three expiration dates; which can get confusing

• Purchase Voucher by -- 05 Sep --> expired
• Redeem Voucher by -- 22 Sep --> expired
• Spend $10 Credit by -- 29 Sep ~ 22 Oct --> expired

Watch those dates, so you don't lose your $10 credit!

Step 1 -- purchase the voucher. This deadline has already passed.

• This deal is available only on the Amazon Local app through Sep 5, 2013

Step 2 -- redeem the voucher. Instructions and links are provided in the email you get after purchasing the voucher. This deadline has also passed.

• Voucher will expire if not redeemed on Audible.com by 11:59 PM EST on Sep 22, 2013

Step 3 -- spend the $10 credit at Audible. The deadline for spending the credit is variable, because it expires 30 days from the date of redemption. Those dates will range from 29 Sep to 22 Oct. This part of the offer is also still active, but the deadline to spend it is fast approaching for those of us who claimed the offer on 30 Aug. We have until 29 Sep to use it or lose it.

• $10 balance will expire if not used toward the purchase of an item or items on Audible.com after 30 days from date of redemption

Deal of the Week at Downpour

• $4.95 - Treasure Island - Robert Louis Stevenson - exp 25 Sep

Perhaps Stevenson’s best-known work, this adventure novel set in the eighteenth century is inspired by the actual exploits of pirate Captain Kidd and the search for his buried treasure. For pure imaginative delight, Treasure Island is unsurpassed. From the moment young Jim Hawkins meets the blind pirate Pew at the Admiral Benbow inn, to the spirited battle for hidden treasure on a tropical island, the novel spawns unforgettable scenes and characters that have thrilled young and old for more than a century.

Stevenson’s romance is noted for its swift, clearly-depicted action, its memorable character types—especially of Long John Silver—and its sustained atmosphere of menace. A story of a classic battle between good and evil, it illustrates one young boy’s rite of passage into the dangerous world of mature responsibilities.

Originally published serially in 1881, in book form in 1883

If this title looks recently familiar, it should; it was May's free offer.

edit: Audible has 17 cheaper versions of this book that are Whispersync for Voice-ready; including the above version. One at $0.99, one at $1.99, one at $2.49, and 14 at $2.99 each.

Yes. Not as much when listening through earbuds (at least compared to 4), but when listening through the car stereo or through my home audio setup definitely.
