Audible's sales are hit-or-miss, to me. But, maybe since you're interests are generally different from mine, you have a different perspective. I should have noticed that when I made the reply. Thanks, abqkjh. I think that we should hold a contest to guess what abqkjh stands for. ha Last edited by GtrsRGr8; 12-18-2016 at 07:49 PM. |

I had a fruitful PM exchange with skinmaan a few minutes ago. I wanted to share something that I learned.
There is a highly-rated, large ebook at Amazon called Grit: The Power of Passion and Perseverance. Check your Amazon Kindle library (if necessary) to see if you have it!. The Whispersync audio narration is currently free. I think that I remember that the Audible audio is $17.95, so the savings is huge (not considering what you spent to get the ebook in the first place). Unfortunately, I didn't have it in my library. I can't even borrow the title from the public library and get the audio free, with Amazon's/Audible's policy being what it is now. Life is so unfair! ![]() Last edited by GtrsRGr8; 12-18-2016 at 10:48 PM. |

ADDENDUM: I found out that the audiobook is available in other formats than I mentioned below. Underneath the 4 formats on the webpage, that I mention below, there are the words "SHOW ALL," "9 Files," and "5 Original" in light gray color. The information that you can get from clicking these links is largely beyond my technical ability to understand. However, I did notice that clicking on two (I failed to notice which two) automatically starts a download of two different zip files.
There is a free audio version of Grit The Power Of Passion And Perseverance available at the Internet Archive. You can stream the book directly from the Internet Archive webpage for the book. The author of the book, Angela Duckworth is the narrator. I'm listening to it now, it has great sound quality. If you want to download the audiobook, you can do it at the same webpage referenced above. It is available in the following flavors: OGG VORBIS TORRENT VBR M3U VBR MP3 BTW--It is unabridged. All nine hours, 22 minutes, and 39 seconds are there! Last edited by GtrsRGr8; 12-19-2016 at 12:13 AM. |

Don't know if this is only going out to Prime members who own Fire's or to Prime members in general or everyone regardless of Prime membership, but if you get an email from Audible titled "Audible Channels - Listen now on Fire tablets" don't just automatically delete it (like I did). Open the email and scroll to the bottom as it has a link to click to get a free Audible credit.

No email for me. I'm not a Fire user and not a Prime member.
