don't know if this was posted already but saw it on cnet today:

Quote:
.....Second things second: What can I tell you about audiobooks that I haven't already said a dozen times? If you're taking a long trip, be it by car, train, plane, or whatever, there's no better way to pass the time. (Well, okay, conversation, maybe, but only if you're sitting with someone really interesting.)

Audible is widely regarded as the best audiobook service out there, and $14.95 per month for a one-book subscription is not a bad deal. But here's an even better one.

For a limited time, you can get three months of Audible Gold for $1.95 per month when you apply coupon code TZ2014. That's a grand total of $5.85 for a subscription that would normally cost you nearly $45. And if you decide not to continue, you'll walk away with three audiobooks.

Surprisingly, this deal is good not just for new customers, but for previous members as well. (If you're a current member, I don't see why you couldn't cancel, then sign up again via this offer. That's gaming the system a bit, but that's how you earn your cheapskate bona fides, right?)

Whatever the case, you'll start getting billed the regular $14.95 starting with month four -- unless you remember to cancel, so mark your calendar.

Of course, you may not want to. Once you get accustomed to listening to a good book while passing time in traffic, you won't want to commute without one. My top recommendation? "The Good Earth," by Pearl S. Buck. It may be "literature," but it's a terrific story and just riveting from start to finish. And speaking of riveting, try "Unbroken." You won't want to get out of your car.

What's your favorite audiobook? Hit the comments and share some recommendations.......

Thanks gabby98, I was hoping for this promotion again this year. Worked for my account, I cancelled a half price subscription plan in May.

I would suggest that you give them a call.

I have the "Light Listener" plan and was thinking of trying to cancel and start the cheapo trial plan also. I will let everyone know how it goes.

The thing holding me back the most is remembering, or noticing the date on my calendar, to cancel at the end of 3 months if I decided not to keep it. But, the worst that would happen is that [I'm talking to myself here, feel free to ignore me. haha] I would have to pay $14.95 for an extra month. But, I would get an additional credit for that money and maybe other perks (like a BOGO sale that month or something). Averaging the four months out (($1.95 x 4) + $14.95 / 4) would still make it a bargain on a monthly basis.

I had a regular membership. I canceled it and tried the code but it didn't work. Maybe I'll try later...

Here's another Audible Membership offer. This time from LivingSocial. No expiration date listed for this offer, so it could be pulled at any time. As with all such offers, YMMV applies. You may or may not qualify. How Audible determines eligibility is one of life's great mysteries.

Two Months of Free Audiobooks

Quote:
With Audible -- the popular audio entertainment platform easily accessible from your smartphone, tablet, or MP3 player -- you can enjoy one audiobook of your choice each month. Try it out for free with this offer:
  • Claim your free offer for your first two months of membership for free
  • Audible’s extensive catalog boasts more than 150,000 titles, from the latest bestsellers to radio programs
  • Includes a bonus subscription to The Wall Street Journal or The New York Times
  • Additional membership perk: Enjoy 30% off à la carte purchases
  • Great Listen Guarantee lets you exchange any audiobook you don’t like
  • Valid for new members only. At the end of the 2-month promotional period, your Audible.com subscription will be renewed at $14.95 per month. You can cancel your membership at any time.
Quote:
The promotion is valid for a limited time only. The promotion applies only to items sold by audible.com. The same items sold by other sellers (e.g. audible.co.uk, etc.) do not qualify. Claim codes cannot be resold, transferred for value, redeemed for cash, or applied to any other Audible account, except where required by law. This promotion may not be combined with other offers. Limit one per customer and account. The offer is only valid for new Audible customers. The offer is only valid for customers in the United States. Audible account required. Other terms and conditions apply, including those available at http://www.audible.com/gift-terms. If you violate any of the terms or conditions, the promotion will be invalid, and the offer will not apply. Audible reserves the right to modify or cancel at any time. Void where prohibited.

I just got an email that one of my library loans would be expiring soon and on a whim checked Audible one more time. WS4V is back to working with library books!

Oh, huzzah! And what a happy whim, as I know I'd never have checked again.

Now, what to borrow/buy before it changes back?

Is the special pricing back for the companion audiobooks to previously expired loans too? I'm seeing regular prices for those.
