I don't know about reduced prices, but it does allow you to keep credits for later use. I've never had this plan, nor will I ever get it.

OK...Thanks

The Light plan doesn't have credits but does give you sale prices on the non-credit sales. It's the plan I'm on and I like it. I stock up during the sales and don't miss credits. I think your enjoyment of the plan would depend a great deal on what you like to listen to though. Certain things probably never go on sale.

The promotion "free2" is finished. They say that due to its success, they've run out of rewards.

Thank you but Audible always remembers that I'm not a new customer. Oh well I have enough to carry me on for a while yet

I'm not a new customer either, yet I still get some of these offers. In June, I signed up for the CNET 3-month $1.95 promo. Then I cancelled it last month on the day before I was to be charged full price. Immediately after cancelling that promo, I successfully signed up for the Twit 30-day 2 free credits promo. Several days ago, I tried to cancel it and Audible offered me another free month/credit.

So that's where I stand now. Next week, I'll spend that credit and cancel again. After that, I'll attempt to sign up for another offer. Moral of the story is to always try. You may get lucky.

Is there a sale at Audible that I'm not aware of? I've found out that book 2 of the farser trilogy by Robin Hobb is at "sale price" in my wish list at 5.95 $.

I try every single "new customer" offer as well, and I've been fortunate to get a number of them that worked for me.

Not that I'm aware of.

BTW, if you own the ebooks or borrow them from a public library, you can get the first two audiobooks in the series via Whispersync for $4.95 and $3.99.

I just got an email that Downpour has a Halloween sale:

http://www.downpour.com/catalogsearc...omo/halloween/

Leawo, a software company, is offering on its website a free download of the audiobook, The 4-Hour Chef (The subtitle, from Amazon.com, is The Simple Path to Cooking Like a Pro, Learning Anything, and Living the Good Life), by Timothy Ferriss. It is a "self-improvement manual guide." Here is the URL for the webpage for the print book at Amazon, which gives a full description of the content of the book: http://www.amazon.com/4-Hour-Chef-Co...r+chef+ferriss.

The blurb says that it is "critically acclaimed" and a "New York Times Bestseller." I didn't verify those things, but the print book at Amazon.com is rated 4 1/2 stars from 1,585 reviews at the present moment (interestingly, I didn't find the audiobook listed at Audible).

This seems to be a super deal. Amazon gives the list price of the print version of the book as $35.00.

There's a little bit of a "catch." First, it will be necessary for you to "register" an email address for yourself with Leawo. Second, the download will be in a .zip file format, which I always seem to have trouble using when I get one. To say the least, it is not nearly as straightforward to work with one as we are often used to with what we get from Audible.com, et al.

You are probably not as technologically-challenged as I am, but in case you are you might want to look over the instructions that you will get before you download the file (BTW-the file is huge--the print versions of the book are 672 pages!):
"1. Please click the 'Download' button above
2. Once the .zip file has completely downloaded, unzip and open the file
3. Individual .zip files of the intro and 5 chapters which comprise the audiobook will be found in the now unzipped "FOUR HOUR COOK" folder
4. Unzip each file and import them into a media player of your choice."

Here's the linky: http://deals.leawo.com. As I was writing this post up, I noticed that the little advertisement for the audiobook moved around the page a couple of times. On the page that I have open at the present moment, it is located at the very bottom. If you don't see it there, do a Ctrl-F search for it.

Just to be clear, if you own the *Amazon* ebook or borrow the *Kindle* version from a public library....it may seem obvious to some, but just in case...
