FREE/BARGAIN — Audiobooks

Just a reminder to check Amazon for Whispersync pairs for deals by other stores. For example, the "Stonewall Brigade" book above is $2 cheaper and you get both the ebook and audiobook.

I know that you've got a lot on your plate already, but would you mind locating all of these deals and posting them in the O.P. for us?

I'm pretty sure there's not enough string left on TM to wrap around that task. We've stretched him pretty far already; he may come unraveled.

EDIT: Got the book removed from my library and a refund issued. What a PITA.

There's a glitch with the book. According to the Audible rep I talked to any Audible Customer with one credit can buy the book for free from the book's page. They are trial testing offering free shorts to their Members but not the general public.

Does that mean they were willing to manually add the book to your account? If so I've got a phone call to make.

Ah, that explains why I can't see it. Thanks for the follow-up.

That's how I did it.

One additional note according to my sister most of the stories are set in between the main books and have some bearing on the next book in the series.

This is a series I enjoy a lot and can only encourage people to read that author.

Which is exactly what I did and was charged for the book after the fact. Did they say if/when the glitch would be fixed and if there'd be a way to tell?

I have a "paid" membership (thank you to mobileread members) currently but no available credit and I got the book for free.

I can now tell you from personal experience that not all of the Audible reps know about either the offer or the glitch. I had to pitch a fit before they added the title to my library (I think just to get rid of me). They specifically told me this was a one-time thing since I was given the wrong information. So, if you try this route good luck, it may be YMMV.

I hope this works for you.

It was a pain in the butt just getting them to refund the charge, I don't care enough about this short book to deal with CS on it any more.
