First, get the free Kindle edition here, then you can pick up your free Audible edition from amongst the following:

• Blackstone Audio, narrated by John Lee
• Trout Lake Media, narrated by Mike Boris
• Dreamscape Media, narrated by Matthew Steward
• Mission Audio, narrated by William Dufris
• Jimcin Recordings, narrated by Jim Roberts
• One Voice Recordings, narrated by David Ian Davies
• Tantor Audio, narrated by Patrick Lawlor
• Naxos Audiobooks, narrated by Bill Roberts
• Books in Motion, narrated by Gene Engene
• Self-published by Michael A. Smith
• The Classic Collection (AKA Brilliance Audio), narrated by Roger Dressier (BTW, this one might contain extras as it is over 5 hours in length. Either that or he reads reeeeeal slooow.)
• Listen2aBook.com, narrated by John Michaels
• Audio Book Contractors, narrated by Flo Gibson
• Alpha DVD, narrated by Pat Bottino
• Recorded Books, narrated by Frank Muller

As usual, this should last a month but Amazon's calendars almost never work right. If you want one (or all) don't delay.

Enjoy!

I have looked through the first few pages and I have gotten at least 10 books that I am going to think about getting the audiobook. I am behind stoked. Merry Christmas to us from Open Road Media.

Thanks - will add to OP

I was following this promo in a couple of other threads but didn't consider the Whispersync connection. Thanks for bringing it to our attention.

There are 1,615 Whispersync pairs available in this sale. Not all of the ebooks are free. Not sure where the paid ebooks enter in this low to high price filter search.

Facebook Entry -- exp 21 Dec

Reader friends: Open Road Media has a little holiday gift for you all. They've made 5000 of their backlist titles on Amazon....FREE. Until 12/20. YOU ARE WELCOME. And no, I'm not going to tell you what they are. You'll have to do some detective work.

Why are we doing this? Because most of these books are undiscovered gems, and we wanted to shine a light on books we really love. Great books deserve great readers. So go download some books!

P.S: I can't seem to get it to work on the promo section, a workaround: I add the book on my cart and click on the promotional code. After that I remove the original version.

Sorry, I missed this. Anyway, great find - added to OP

For this, one might want to take advantage of the kindle sale of 99 cents and $1.99 whispersync. You pay three cents more, but get the ebook too.

I have two credits that I'll have to use soon on something, and would consider the Chronicles of Narnia books, but they only have five of the seven and not the first.

This is one in which us ListenerLighters ("Inactive," at least) miss out. But I don't consider this kind of sale a very good one--unless you are on some "trial" plan, that you plan on dropping, and your credits are free. ha

It's interesting that you put quotation marks around "family friendly." There's no mistaking what you meant that way--they're clean, safe for children, etc. Charles Manson had a "family," the Gambinos (mafia) were a "family" . . . . They might have (had) a different notion of what "family friendly" meant. ha

I never buy from these sales because I don't like the choices. Besides, I rarely have even one credit on hand, let alone two. Whenever I get a credit, I usually spend it immediately.
