I don't see it for free at amazon.com, only 99 cents. Do different people see different prices?

I can see this free in UK as well. Strange you see 99 cents.

Laurablue · 05-08-2014, 12:06 PM

Sorry, I checked the .com website and it came up as free, but it seems to recognize that I am in Canada (where it still is free). I think that 99 cents is the standard price as the list price in Canada is $1.02.

CRussel · 05-08-2014, 02:09 PM

It showed as $.99 for me in the US store. That's OK, downloaded it anyway. And used some of my $10 coupon on Audible to get the WhisperSync for Voice version.

This should be a perfect workout book.

Amazon local has a coupon for the first three months of membership at $1.95 per month, regular membership rate to apply thereafter. The coupon must be redeemed by May 23. It says valid for new members only, but I gather that's a MMV situation.

Thanks - I'll add this to the OP tomorrow

The last two times Audible ran this three month promo, it was only $0.95 per month.

I was rummaging around on Downpour's site and noticed that they had quite a few audiobooks on sale (in addition to the two that I posted a few days ago). Here's the info. I am 1) giving you the price for the least expensive format; many, if not all, other formats of the same book are also on sale and 2) giving you only the best (or is it "better?" I never could get those straight) deals; there are lots of other audiobooks on not-so-great sale.

Yes, I know that you've got your Audible credits and you can get some of these audiobooks for free. But, maybe you would want to save those credits for something else and get a great deal on an audiobook here that you're wanting?

Additional Deals. There are 17 of them, priced from $3.95 to $9.95 (only one is priced $9.95). http://www.downpour.com/catalogsearc...itional-deals/.

Louis L'Amour Spotlight. There are 12 of these. 70% off. http://www.downpour.com/catalogsearc...our-spotlight/.

Spring Cleaning Overstock. "Hard Goods Only" (I assume that this means only CDs (or DVDs, if applicable)). There are 50 of these. $5 each. "While supplies last." Sale ends 5/15." http://www.downpour.com/catalogsearc...ring-cleaning/.

Black Mask Stories Audio Books. There are 11 of these. $5.95. http://www.downpour.com/catalogsearc...-mask-stories/.

Three from T.C. Boyle. Prices range from $6.89 to $9.59. http://www.downpour.com/weekend-spotlight.

Shakespeare Spotlight. There are 38 of these. $4.95. http://www.downpour.com/catalogsearc...are-spotlight/.

Simon & Schuster Spotlight. There are 29 of these. They all appear to be novels. $6.00. http://www.downpour.com/catalogsearc...imon-schuster/.

Quick Fiction: Great Listens under 3 Hours. There are 40 of these. They range in price from $1.50 to $7.99. http://www.downpour.com/catalogsearc...quick-fiction/.

I tried this one and was unable to apply it. I think the one a few months ago was probably a fluke, but I will keep trying.

Today's Audible deal is The Weight of Silence, by Heather Gudenkauf, for $3.95. I listened to this a few weeks ago, and recommend it if you like suspenseful domestic-type stories. Each individual chapter is the account of a different character (and has a different narrator).

Quote:

It happens quietly one August morning. As dawn's shimmering light drenches the humid Iowa air, two families awaken to find their little girls have gone missing in the night. Seven-year-old Calli Clark is sweet, gentle, a dreamer who suffers from selective mutism brought on by tragedy that pulled her deep into silence as a toddler. Calli's mother, Antonia, tried to be the best mother she could within the confines of marriage to a mostly absent, often angry husband. Now, though she denies that her husband could be involved in the possible abductions, she fears her decision to stay in her marriage has cost her more than her daughter's voice.

Petra Gregory is Calli's best friend, her soul mate and her voice. But neither Petra nor Calli has been heard from since their disappearance was discovered.

Desperate to find his child, Martin Gregory is forced to confront a side of himself he did not know existed beneath his intellectual, professorial demeanor.

Now these families are tied by the question of what happened to their children. And the answer is trapped in the silence of unspoken family secrets.

Audible is having a $3.95 "Hidden Gems" sale on 40 titles through May 17th @ 11:59 EST.

I can recommend Fledgling by Sharon Lee and Steve Miller (part of the Liaden Series) if you're a Science Fiction fan.

I still had a few dollars in credit so I picked this one up.

I think you'll like it. This is a good introduction to the Liaden Universe. There's lots that's gone before, and plenty to come after, but it starts out off the main story line of the Korval clan, so you can easily start here. Of course, you're likely to get hooked and have a whole lot of other books to read, but that's a good thing, right?
