I agree on the Audible originals. I already have the ones of most interest. I’m kind of bummed they pulled the channels feature without much warning.

Were you able to download them to a PC? I tried to do so but it never gave me the option.

No, I just have them on my phone and ipad in the audible app. I assume they will disappear from the app on 9/5/19 when they are set to expire. I'm enjoying the sleep/meditation/walking ones so far.

I decided to give the introduction to indoor cycling one a try. We'll see.

GooglePlay is offering $5 off of an audiobook of $5 or more. Everyone may get the offer; or, it may be a targeted offer--I dunno (FYI--I have never bought an audiobook from GooglePlay). Go to "books" (or it may be "ebooks") in the menu in the extreme top lefthand corner). You'll have a choice of "ebooks" or "audiobooks"--choose "audiobooks." If you are one of the lucky winners, you'll see blue box about 1/3 down the screen. You'll click on it to get the deal.

Good luck.

Note: I scooped the 'monkey. Hee hee

I had the offer in a banner on the website.

Through September 15, Audible is offering a $5 credit to any member who pre-orders a book.

I'm sorry; I don't have a link. The home page defaults to the stupid promo for the member benefit for Audible Originals.

And of course, I pre-ordered 2 days ago. For those that haven't already and are into crime Robert Galbraith's Lethal White is out in the next fortnight and John Sandford Holy Ghost is out at the start of October

I know that I posted the GooglePlay audiobook offer, but I'm beginning to think that looking for a good deal using the vouchers is a colossal waste of time. I was similarly-minded with the last $5 off on an ebook offer that I got from them. After looking probably 2 or 3 hours looking to find a good deal, I gave up, and let that $5 go. It _seems_ that Google Play has it rigged to where even if you use their voucher, you're still going to pay for an audiobook about what you would pay at Audible for it.

Here's one deal that looked good, however, and I grabbed it for myself. Audible has C.S. Lewis' _Reflections on the Psalms_ for $5.95. So does GooglePlay, but with the $5 off, the audiobook ends up being only $1.95 there.

Some quick information: the _ebook_ is rated 4.2/5 at Amazon (most of the lower ratings have nothing to do with the content of the book). It is rated 3.93/5 at GoodReads (a good rating from that bunch). The ebook has 184 pages., which translates into 3 hours and 40 minutes of listening time.

I'll probably listen to this audiobook tonight, when I go to bed, and before I start sawing logs.

Here's another code for the Travelzoo promo. I can't use it. I hope someone can use this! 7FLBNSXDNNFN6

Must not apply to 'lite' members, I didn't see the offer.

I couldn't find the offer on the website, but here's the text of the email:
