I would blame tubemonkey, for not reminding us enough.

Sorry, you missed it. I'll remove the offer from the OP.

LOL

This was an offer I didn't qualify for and the screenshot posted by AnemicOak didn't list an expiration date. I wish Audible would make a point of always listing expiration dates with their free offers.

Thanks for GA Russell for posting the ebook on another thread, making me aware of the Whispersync deal here.

In addition to having stellar ratings, the ebook is a #1 seller in three categories in the Kindle store. It is also a New York Times bestseller. See more accolades, awards, honors, etc. in the book description below.

The difference in price between the Whispersync deal and the Audible audio is not as big as it is most of the time. That is due, however, to an abnormally low price for the Audible audio alone ($9.95).

Yes, it's non-fiction. But for those who like fiction, and don't like non-fiction, just pretend that the things in the book never really happened. I know that you will love the book!

Title: West with the Night.
Genre: Non-Fiction (Adventure).
Author(s): Beryl Markham.
Price: $4.17 ($0.18 ebook (marked down) + $3.99 Whispersync audio).
Regular Price of Audio, by Itself, at Audible: $9.95.
Ebook Rating/Number of Reviews: 4.6 stars/1,148 reviews (Amazon).
Audio Rating/Number of Ratings: 4.20/148 ratings.
Pages/Audio Length: 306/8 hours and 59 minutes.
Narrator(s): Anna Fields.
Audible URL: http://www.audible.com/pd/Bios-Memoi...ok/B002V57OSI/.

Book Description (Amazon):
The classic memoir of Africa, aviation, and adventure—the inspiration for Paula McLain’s Circling the Sun and “a bloody wonderful book” (Ernest Hemingway).

Beryl Markham’s life story is a true epic. Not only did she set records and break barriers as a pilot, she shattered societal expectations, threw herself into torrid love affairs, survived desperate crash landings—and chronicled everything. A contemporary of Karen Blixen (better known as Isak Dinesen, the author of Out of Africa), Markham left an enduring memoir that soars with astounding candor and shimmering insights.

A rebel from a young age, the British-born Markham was raised in Kenya’s unforgiving farmlands. She trained as a bush pilot at a time when most Africans had never seen a plane. In 1936, she accepted the ultimate challenge: to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean from east to west, a feat that fellow female aviator Amelia Earhart had completed in reverse just a few years before. Markham’s successes and her failures—and her deep, lifelong love of the “soul of Africa”—are all told here with wrenching honesty and agile wit.

Hailed as “one of the greatest adventure books of all time” by Newsweek and “the sort of book that makes you think human beings can do anything” by the New York Times, West with the Night remains a powerful testament to one of the iconic lives of the twentieth century.

One of the best books of all time, full stop. But not my favourite narration of it. The one by Donada Peters is superior, but not readily available currently.

I'm glad that you mentioned the narration.

There are actually two versions at Audible. Which one belongs to this ebook (this has been an issue over and over again about Whispersync deals and, to my knowledge, no one has come up with a truly satisfactory answer)? Well, the ebook page says that the Audible audio (alone) is $9.95. When you go to Audible's webpage for the audiobook, one version is $14.95, and the other is $9.95. I had to assume the one priced $9.95 was the version that a person would get, because it was the same price as the Amazon ebook webpage said that it was. That is not fail-safe, I know, but that's about the best that I know to do.

I didn't see, at Audible, the version with the Donada Peters narration, full stop. Beauty is in the ear of the beholder, anyway. Both versions of the audiobook at Audible have a respectable 4.2 rating.

Thanks for your kudos about the book. I never know whether or not a particular Whispersync deal will go over well or will be a dud.
