Here we go again!

Sirs,

I downloaded the Sync week 7 downloads today, and I noticed that "The Autobiography of an Ex-Colored Man" seems to be a little short. The audio files only add up to 4 hours 35 minutes; both Tantor and Audible's web site list the title at 5 hours. I think the problem is with Part 2 of the download. The file I got was only 30 minutes, which would seem to be 30 minutes shorter than the other files. Any assistance in addressing this issue would be most appreciated.

We are working with the publisher on this as it's the file we were given by them.

You will be getting an alert email when we get this worked out. I would ask for your patience on this because it might take a while since it's the publisher's file.

Thanks so much for being a loyal SYNC listener!!

Good catch. Thanks for the heads up.

Thanks for alerting us and for contacting SYNC. I just download both books and put a note in the description for this book about the missing 26 minutes.

Thanks to an 88% cut on the ebook portion, from the digital list price, to $1.99.

For the benefit of newbies, a Whispersync deal includes the audiobook, ebook, and automatic syncing of the two. If you are interested just in the audiobook of this title, you can get it $11.00 cheaper (65% less) by getting the Whispersync deal, over buying the audio alone at Audible.

The price of the ebook is supposed to stay $1.99 through June 20. So, the Whispersync deal should stay at the current price of $5.98, barring an increase in the Whispersync narration portion during that time (which is not likely).

Comments:
Book Description (Amazon):
C. S. Lewis is one of the most influential Christian writers of our time. The Chronicles of Narnia has sold more than 100 million copies worldwide and all Lewis's works are estimated to sell 6 million copies annually. At the fiftieth anniversary of his death, Lewis expert Devin Brown brings the beloved author's story to life in a fresh, accessible, and moving biography through focusing on Lewis's spiritual journey.

Although it was clear from the start that Lewis would be a writer, it was not always clear he would become a Christian. Drawing on Lewis's autobiographical works, books by those who knew him personally, and his apologetic and fictional writing, this book tells the inspiring story of Lewis's journey from cynical atheist to joyous Christian and challenges readers to follow their own calling. The book allows Lewis to tell his own life story in a uniquely powerful manner while shedding light on his best-known works.

The Short Drop --> Gibson Vaughn Series (book 1 of 2)

Whispersync: Audible ($1.99) | Kindle ($5.99)

A decade ago, fourteen-year-old Suzanne Lombard, the daughter of Benjamin Lombard - then a senator, now a powerful vice president running for the presidency - disappeared in the most sensational missing-person case in the nation's history. Still unsolved, the mystery remains a national obsession.

For legendary hacker and marine Gibson Vaughn, the case is personal - Suzanne Lombard had been like a sister to him. On the tenth anniversary of her disappearance, the former head of Benjamin Lombard's security asks for Gibson's help in a covert investigation of the case, with new evidence in hand.

Haunted by tragic memories, he jumps at the chance to uncover what happened all those years ago. Using his military and technical prowess, he soon discovers multiple conspiracies surrounding the Lombard family - and he encounters powerful, ruthless political players who will do anything to silence him and his team. With new information surfacing that could threaten Lombard's bid for the presidency, Gibson must stay one step ahead as he navigates a dangerous web to get to the truth.

Nook Daily Find -- exp 17 Jun

$4.99 -- Amazing Adven of Kavalier & Clay -- Chabon/ Colacci --> 26.3 hrs/ R-4.3 --> historical

The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay -- Michael Chabon/ David Colacci

Whispersync: Audible ($4.49) | Kindle ($12.99)

Pulitzer Prize, Fiction, 2001

It's 1939, in New York City. Joe Kavalier, a young artist who has also been trained in the art of Houdiniesque escape, has just pulled off his greatest feat: smuggling himself out of Hitler's Prague. He's looking to make big money, fast, so that he can bring his family to freedom. His cousin, Brooklyn's own Sammy Clay, is looking for a partner in creating the heroes, stories, and art for the latest novelty to hit the American dreamscape: the comic book.

Inspired by their own fantasies, fears, and dreams, Kavalier and Clay create the Escapist, the Monitor, and the otherworldly Mistress of the Night, Luna Moth, inspired by the beautiful Rosa Saks, who will become linked by powerful ties to both men. The golden age of comic books has begun, even as the shadow of Hitler falls across Europe.

The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay is a stunning novel of endless comic invention and unforgettable characters, written in the exhilarating prose that has led critics to compare Michael Chabon to Cheever and Nabokov. In Joe Kavalier, Chabon has created a hero for the century.

A saw a Facebook ad for this and managed to get a code for audible. I have not listened to it yet but there seems to be good reviews. Even if you don't get the audio you should get the ebook. Details at http://www.theripperfile.com/ although it might only be for audible uk users. Details of the book are at https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00ZXJPI...ng=UTF8&btkr=1
