Well those books sound good to me, so I got the WS deal. Thanks! Since I had some credit left, the combo only cost me about $4.

It looks to be missing. Adding the length of the individual files and subtracting from the length of the book shows 51 minutes missing.

And yes, I know other editions exist - I have at least one of them at Audible (where it is marked as a "signature performance" of the unabridged book). I just didn't want to try this one, if there was a missing segment. |

$3.98 Whispersync Deal on Finch, by Jeff Vandermeer.
Title: Finch.
Genre: Fiction. Author: Jeff Vandermeer. Price: $3.98 ($1.99 ebook (marked down) + $1.99 Whispersync audio). Regular Price of Audio, by Itself, at Audible: $21.95. Ebook Rating/Number of Reviews: 4.3 stars/76 reviews (Amazon). Audio Rating/Number of Ratings: 3.60/231 ratings. Pages/Audio Length: 339/14 hours and 54 minutes. Narrator: Oliver Wyman. Audible URL: http://www.audible.com/pd/Sci-Fi-Fan...8384988&sr=1-1. Amazon URL (can get the whole Whispersync deal here): http://www.amazon.com/Finch-Jeff-Van...nch+vandermeer. Comments: The ebook was a Kindle Daily Deal, or something, yesterday. I noticed that it had a good Whispersync deal, but I didn't have time to post it. I hope that the ebook stays $1.99 long enough for everyone who wants the deal to get it. Book Description (Amazon): In Finch, mysterious underground inhabitants known as the gray caps have reconquered the failed fantasy state Ambergris and put it under martial law. They have disbanded House Hoegbotton and are controlling the human inhabitants with strange addictive drugs, internment in camps, and random acts of terror. The rebel resistance is scattered, and the gray caps are using human labor to build two strange towers. Against this backdrop, John Finch, who lives alone with a cat and a lizard, must solve an impossible double murder for his gray cap masters while trying to make contact with the rebels. Nothing is as it seems as Finch and his disintegrating partner Wyte negotiate their way through a landscape of spies, rebels, and deception. Trapped by his job and the city, Finch is about to come face to face with a series of mysteries that will change him and Ambergris forever. |

Fair warning, it is in Topaz format (and I bought it anyway - haven't tried reading thru, though, to see how bad the formatting is). |

I didn't join the throng of ebook buyers until after Topaz gave way to Kindle mobi. Or, at least, I think that that is what I think that happened. So, I am only vaguely familiar with Topaz. I don't even know if I could recognize it when I see it. I have heard some horror stories about it, though. I need to read up on the whole thing--the Mobileread archives is probably as good a place as any to do that. |

I wanted to see what Topaz looked like, but Amazon and/or the publisher apparently didn't provide a preview of this book. Is this sometimes a warning sign that a book might be in Topaz? Last edited by GtrsRGr8; 08-01-2015 at 12:15 AM. |
