Has anyone come across any new free or discounted Audible membership offers that may work for accounts that have previously been members? I've tried all the ones on the first page without success.

I did something dumb. A few weeks ago, I was finishing up a free trial and I still had 2 credits. I also had a $20 coupon balance from the 2 recent promos. I used my credits and cancelled my membership before the renewal date, but I forgot that members get a 30% discount, so the audiobooks I had picked out to buy with my coupon balance are now more expensive.

The coupon balance starts expiring Saturday, so I have to use it before then.

Thanks.

They seem to have pulled the plug on cancelling and rejoining. I've had no luck the last few months getting any offer to work.

From the romance thread, but it contains lots of non-Romance and a couple free Audibles at the end. Maybe old freebies, but a couple were new to me.

Most unusually for me, two wishlist books are for sale, as Audible was so kind as to inform me by email.

Free Audio Stories

The New Yorker has a podcast featuring famous authors reading famous authors -- almost a hundred stories so far, all free for the downloading:

https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/...on/id256945396


If you set up iTunes' Import Settings to import as .mp3, you've got generic .mp3 files in your iTunes podcast folder that you can transfer to any audio device. (Edit--Preferences -- General -- Import Settings -- Import Using mp3 encoder)

I'm also enjoying audio of various iTunes U college courses on literature and history using the same process -- download free course into iTunes and then transfer the .mp3 files to my .mp3 player.

Learn about the Sinking of the Titanic, by Audio and Ebook--Just $6.98 Total!

Via a Whispersync Companion deal.

What is it about the Titanic and its sinking that holds such endless fascination to us?

The book is A Night to Remember. By Walter Lord. A #1 New York Times Bestseller.

Book Description (from Amazon)
Lord’s classic bestseller, and the definitive account of the unsinkable ship’s fateful last hours

At first, no one but the lookout recognized the sound. Passengers described it as the impact of a heavy wave, a scraping noise, or the tearing of a long calico strip. In fact, it was the sound of the world’s most famous ocean liner striking an iceberg, and it served as the death knell for 1,500 souls.

In the next two hours and forty minutes, the maiden voyage of the
Titanic became one of history’s worst maritime accidents. As the ship’s deck slipped closer to the icy waterline, women pleaded with their husbands to join them on lifeboats. Men changed into their evening clothes to meet death with dignity. And in steerage, hundreds fought bitterly against certain death. At 2:15 a.m. the ship’s band played “Autumn.” Five minutes later, the Titanic was gone.

Based on interviews with sixty-three survivors, Lord’s moment-by-moment account is among the finest books written about one of the twentieth century’s bleakest nights.


Info on the Ebook and Audiobook

Rated 4 1/2 stars, from 413 reviews at the present moment. Print list price $14.99; digital list price $14.99; Kindle price now $2.99. Open Road Media, publisher. 208 pages.

Audiobook How to Do Everything and Be Happy--$5.98. The Ebook is Free.

That's right, you guessed it--another Whispersync Companion deal.

The full title is How to Do Everything and Be Happy: Your step-by-step, straight-talking guide to creating happiness in your life, by Peter Jones.

The Kindle ebook is rated 4 1/2 stars, from 17 reviews at the present moment.

The math: $1.99 (ebook) + $3.99 (Whispersync audio) = $5.98.

This is the link to the webpage for the Amazon ebook. You know what to do next.

The Adderall Empire--Audiobook with the Whispersync'd Ebook Only $3.99!

In case you are unfamiliar with the concept of Amazon's Whispersync program, here's how it works and how you can save some money on audiobooks with it. If you buy a Kindle ebook, Amazon sometimes allows you to buy the corresponding audiobook for a reduced price--often a sharply reduced price. As a result you can sometimes end up paying less--sometimes much less--than what you would pay for the Audible audio had you purchased it alone, even after taking into account what you have had to pay for the ebook in order to qualify for the reduced price on the audiobook!

Since the audiobook is a "Whispersync" companion, that means that the ebook and the audiobook automatically sync up with each other. For example, if you're reading in the ebook, but decide to listen to the audiobook for a while, when you start it it will automatically begin at the spot where you left off with your reading! You don't get this when you buy the standalone Audible audiobook.

I'm considering it my mission in life (well, at least my mission part of the time in my life, for the time being. ha.) to let Mobilereaders following this thread know about the better Whispersync Companion deals that I come across.

Oh, and I won't lower my standards just to be able to post a Whispersync deal that's cheap. The ebook must be highly rated or I won't post the deal.

Okay, here's another great Whispersync Companion deal.

The full title of the ebook is The Adderall Empire: A Life With ADHD and the Millennials' Drug of Choice, by Andrew K. Smith.

The Kindle ebook is rated 4 1/2 stars, from 23 reviews at the present moment.

The ebook is 180 pages, making the audio running time 4 hours and 14 minutes.

The math: $0.00 (ebook (print list price $14.95; digital list(?) price $0.99)) + $3.99 (Whispersync audio) = $3.99.

This is the link to the webpage for the Amazon ebook. You can purchase the Whispersync audiobook at the same page.

This includes a number from which I consider masters of SF/Fantasy:

The Rowan - McCaffrey
Natural Ordermage - Modesitt
Legacies - Modesitt
House of the 4 Winds - Lackey

As well as books by Cherryh, Jack Campbell, and others. Really, a pretty good selection.

Audible has a number of titles available for pre-order from author Jodi Taylor, I assume as an introduction to her work. There are three short stories, all from her series "The Chronicles of St. Mary." Based on the descriptions this series would seem to be a Science Fiction/Fantasy time travel theme. The current freebies are:

All three titles are currently free and show to be released on April 7, and are about an hour each. I don't know if they will be free after that date (heck I don't know if they will still be free in an hour) so if you are interested don't delay.

Also, the author has another short not in this series that is already available and free. If you are interested in "Little Donkey: A Short Story," it can be found here. This appears to be a Christmas-themed fiction, though not a Christian-themed book (I haven't read it, so I could be wrong).

Enjoy!
