I'm tempted, I canceled my subscription a month ago and it looks I’m eligible, at least logging in it takes me to the deal page, and it says

What do I get?
12 audiobook credits upfront.
1 credit is good for any book regardless of price.
Get 2 Audible Originals of your choice each month.
No commitments. Cancel anytime and keep all your audiobooks.

I don’t suppose they give you the 12 credits on the subscription, the credits certanly will roll around one each month, but can you confirm if you only got one credit please.

I was out of credits from the same deal last year. Chatted and they renewed me at the $99 for 12 credits. Doesn’t hurt to ask.

12:24 Eastern Time, U.S.: Still no Eager (except at the usual price or 1 credit).

I am not eager to see this book, anyway. I'll save you the trouble of looking--this book is about beavers. Yes, beavers.

"All" that beavers are are big rats with flat tails, IMHO.

I stand by what I wrote a couple of months ago about how the quality of the Daily Deals at Audible seems to have diminished, and this is a prime example of it, IMHO. Does anyone else agree, or does anyone disagree? If I'm right, what might be the cause of it?

Too funny. This one appeals to me. I’m a mostly nonfiction reader.

Actually, when the daily deal became "members only" I thought the quality took a jump. If memory serves, I bought a handful in a short time but that quickly faded back into the daily crap pile. I haven't bought a daily deal in a long while.

I can't see the prices anymore since my free promo ended.

Ya know, one of those beavers is a boy and he had his own TV show back in the 50's

This book looks interesting. I wouldn't buy it, but I would check it out from the library. Beavers are good for the environment.

Help! The beaver lovers are attacking me (that's better than beavers themselves--those teeth can bring down trees!)!

In all seriousness, they are an important part of the ecosystem. Beavers kill trees, but they use the trees to make dams, which help them catch fish, helping keep the number of fish from running amuck. Beavers make . . . uh . . . let's say, "organic fertilizer," which helps nourish the ground so that the trees can grow better. Etc., etc. If Mother Nature (just an expression, I'm not a pantheist) is left alone, everything stays in balance, or if it is disturbed, returns back to balance eventually. Yeah, beavers are important. But, a whole book about them?

I realize that bringing up the book, and the resulting posts, probably will make more MobileReaders, and others, buy the silly book.

The quality of the Daily Deals may have taken a jump immediately after the change to "members only." I just don't remember.
