Well, that was a bust. When I asked for a free trial, Alexa asked me if I wanted to get the $5.95/mo offer. I don't know if that means the 3-mo free offer is over, or simply that I didn't qualify. So now I'm off to get the $5.95 offer and then see if I can get the UK offer too!

ETA: Got both offers; yay me!

Ah, OK. I suppose that means I wasn't eligible, though it's a moot point now. As it is, with the two promos, I'll be getting six audiobooks for under $20, PLUS the $20 credit--an embarrassment of riches!

That's quite a haul. I don't qualify for any of these promos. I just finished a round of free trials from Audible US, Audible CA, Audible UK, and Audible AU.

At least some of us are qualifying for these deals and that's a good thing

Just last week I finished an Audible promo of 4 months at half price. I did have a UK trial several years back, but have never tried Canada or Australia.

FYI, Downpour just sent me an e-mail about Black Friday; most books seem be be half price.

Thanks for the heads up on the sale

I went to Downpour to see if they posted anything about it and found nothing so far. But, I did see a link at the top of the home page to start a free trial. I was logged out at the time. I usually see promos if I'm not logged in. So I logged in and still no mention about the BF sale, but the free trial link was still there. So I tried it and got it. Color me shocked because Downpour has always turned me down on free trials since my first one 3 years ago. So thanks again.

Downpour -- Black Friday -- exp unknown

FREE -- Free Trial Offer (1 month) -- YMMV

Act fast, because this is a Black Friday offer and they didn't list an expiration date.

Edit: BTW, Downpour stopped giving out free trials some time ago. Not sure when. It would be nice if they started up again.

They are currently offering 3 months for $5.99/m ($11.99/m after) at estories.com. I am a former member and am able to see the offer. (I didn't sign up for it since I have several other memberships right now, so I can't verify that it works.)

FINALLY! No, not finally a freebie (though there is one). No, finally a free minute where I can tell you about it. Our friends at Macmillan Audio have updated the "Stories From Among the Stars" podcast. Season 3 is "A Memory Called Empire" by Arkady Martine.

Quote:

Winner of the 2020 Hugo Award for Best Novel
A Locus, and Nebula Award nominee for 2019
A Best Book of 2019: Library Journal, Polygon, Den of Geek
An NPR Favorite Book of 2019
A Guardian Best Science Fiction and Fantasy Book of 2019 and “Not the Booker Prize” Nominee
A Goodreads Biggest SFF Book of 2019 and Goodreads Choice Awards Nominee

"A Memory Called Empire perfectly balances action and intrigue with matters of empire and identity. All around brilliant space opera, I absolutely love it." (Ann Leckie, author of Ancillary Justice)

Ambassador Mahit Dzmare arrives in the center of the multi-system Teixcalaanli Empire only to discover that her predecessor, the previous ambassador from their small but fiercely independent mining station, has died. But no one will admit that his death wasn't an accident - or that Mahit might be next to die, during a time of political instability in the highest echelons of the imperial court.

Now, Mahit must discover who is behind the murder, rescue herself, and save her station from Teixcalaan's unceasing expansion - all while navigating an alien culture that is all too seductive, engaging in intrigues of her own, and hiding a deadly technological secret - one that might spell the end of her station and her way of life - or rescue it from annihilation.

A fascinating space-opera debut, Arkady Martine's A Memory Called Empire is an interstellar mystery adventure.

"The most thrilling ride ever. This book has everything I love." (Charlie Jane Anders, author of All the Birds in the Sky)
"Stories From Among the Stars" podcast is available from most podcast outlets. Apple, Sticher, and RSS are linked on the Macmillan page. My personal favorite is Podbean, but you can find it most everywhere. They post two parts a week and they are currently on Episode 4. I'll make another post when all parts are up. Get it quickly if you want it because they remove the last book before they start posting the next.

Enjoy!

Thanks. This offer has been available for quite awhile, maybe even a year or two. It seems to be their standard introductory offer after the free trial.

Thank you so much for the Downpour heads up!

My email confirmations took their sweet time (over an hour), so you may want to screenshot your confirmation numbers or use the print link to save a pdf receipt, just in case.

I was thinking of using the Kobo come back $5 offer and just consider it a rental, but this is way better for those that like access to their files.

Has Kobo changed its audio files? Last time I got an audiobook from Kobo, the files were mp3, though the extension didn't show; all I needed to do was add the extension to play the files on any device.

P.S. I just got an Audible offer to change my membership (which started yesterday!) to a year's subscription for only $89.50, and I'm considering it. Here's the link, but the e-mail says it's a targeted offer, so ...
