FREE/BARGAIN - Audiobooks - 2015

[Froide]

Not in the position right now to list all the results, but I did find the following technique useful for finding Audible freebies:

1. Visit the Amazon website
2. Type in "free Audible"
3. Sort the results by Price: Low to High

Final Day for SYNC -- Week 14 expires Thu 06 Aug @ 7am ET

Well, lookie here. After 5 months Audible has finally decided to update their Whispersync freebie. Don't get too excited, though - it's a repeat, though with a different narrator. This month you can get "Treasure Island" by Robert Louis Stevenson by first going here (Kindle version) and then going here (Audible version). You should have at least a month for this (heck, maybe even another 5) but if you're interested don't wait too long, lest ye forget.

Enjoy!

Some good prices on the 48 books that are included. And a pretty broad range of books.

They have some other deals there that I haven't seen listed in this thread, including a great price on a recent Agatha Raisin.

Not an audiobook, but a book about audiobooks.

How Audiobooks Make You Smarter: 7 Little Known Ways Audio Books Can Boost Memory Capacity And Increase Intelligence. By Entrepreneur Publishing. $0.00.

I hope that that was okay to post on this thread. If not, here is the audiobook of the audiobook book (it's $5.95).

Maybe I'm expecting more than I should . . . .

I followed the instructions. Only the first two books show a price for the Kindle ebooks (both of them are $0.00). The rest of them (on the first page, which is only as far I went) show the Audible price as $0.00, and that's all of the pricing information that's given. It looks like someone would still have to check manually for the price of the Kindle ebooks that go with the free Audible audiobooks? Is that all that you were expecting from the search? You did say, "for finding Audible freebies.". That still would be helpful information, though, and I've bookmarked the webpage for future use.

Thanks

I found 3 titles that weren't on my list and added them.

It's still an incomplete search as it doesn't list all of the freebies.

Amazon's search feature has always left a lot to be desired.

The best way I've found to squeeze the most info about freebies from Amazon is:

1. From the "Audiobooks & More" page click the "Last 30 days" option on the left
2. Sort by "Price: Low to High"
3. "Clear" the new release filter

You should now have a list of all Audible titles listed on Amazon, starting with $0.00 price. It's not complete but the list has about 400 titles at the moment. Most of them aren't worth mentioning. Some are no longer available. The best part is: you don't even need to check. Yours truly checks it every couple of weeks to make sure nothing slipped my notice.

Thank you for doing that! For the most part, the freebies are the audio books I care about. [Ok, I did just buy a dozen 30-45 minute Agatha Christies, for real money. I'm starting to get hooked. Slowly!]

Excellent. Thanks.

It took a minute or two to find the "Audible Audiobooks & More" webpage, so let me give it to everyone (imagine the total minutes that this will save everyone! ha): http://www.amazon.com/b/ref=sd_allca...ode=2402172011.

Everything else is easy peasy.

Comments:
Book Description (Amazon): In Let It Come Down, Paul Bowles plots the doomed trajectory of Nelson Dyar, a New York bank teller who comes to Tangier in search of a different life and ends up giving in to his darkest impulses. Rich in descriptions of the corruption and decadence of the International Zone in the last days before Moroccan independence, Bowles's second novel is an alternately comic and horrific account of a descent into nihilism.
