FREE/BARGAIN — Audiobooks

[issybird]

In these sales, I wish Audible would break down non-fiction into history/biography and self-help. After scrolling through several pages of dreck with the odd gem (that I didn’t want, but at least it was the type of thing I was looking for), I gave up.

It is! Go to BROWSE at the top of the screen. There is History, Biography and Memoir and Relationships, Parenting & Personal Development. There are further subcategories. This is on the laptop.

I wish there were a way to sort by price, or at least by percent off--there are a few books I had on my wish list that are 85 percent off, bringing them down to $3 or $4. I'd happily scarf up a lot more books at that price.

Does this work with sale items, though? I know there’s (some) granularity with the listings as a whole, but I haven’t been able to drill down with sale books.

Yes you can! Go to your wish list and click on PRICE. It will sort highest to lowest. Now click on the arrow that appeared. That will sort it lowest to highest and it uses the sale prices to do so.

I tried a few things, but no, I can't get it to sort by price.

Sometimes things work on a full desktop browser and not on mobile browsers or apps.

But everything's on sale, so you should just be able to go to your preferred category and browse.

Oh, thanks, but I didn't want to sort my wish list by price--it's not that long--rather books in some categories that I'd consider at low prices but wouldn't waste a credit on. I did find some domestic thrillers at good prices but I wish Audible would just let me browse by price.

That's how I was trying it and no luck. I do all my purchasing using the laptop and web site. Audible doesn't let you buy with Apple devices because of Apple's required cut.

Downpour Daily Deal
Guns of August - Barbara W Tuckmann $3.99
https://www.downpour.com/the-guns-of-august?sp=11294

Winner of the 1963 Pulitzer Prize for General Nonfiction

Winner of the AudioFile Earphones Award

The 2009 AudioFile Best Voice for History: Wanda McCaddon

In this Pulitzer Prize–winning classic, historian Barbara Tuchman brings to life the people and events that led up to World War I. This was the last gasp of the Gilded Age, of kings and kaisers and czars, of pointed or plumed hats, colored uniforms, and all the pomp and romance that went along with war. How quickly it all changed—and how horrible it became.

Tuchman masterfully portrays this transition from the nineteenth to the twentieth century, focusing on the turning point in the year 1914, the month leading up to the war, and the first month of the war. With fine attention to detail, she reveals how and why the war started and why it could have been stopped but wasn't, managing to make the story utterly suspenseful even when we already know the outcome.

From our favorite monkey:

Thanks for the well wishes. I appreciate it. Doing much better now.

Not Covid. Bad leg infection because of my lymphedema. I've been stuck in rehab (nursing home from hell) for the past two weeks. Expect to be here for another week. Net access is atrocious. Just now able to make a stable connection. Using my phone, so very difficult to post. Will try to get my laptop Thursday morning so I can post again.

Miss the gang, so please pass this on. Hope to see y'all soon.

Again, thanks.

Trevor, thanks for sharing the update from tubemonkey!

TM, although I rarely post at MobileRead anymore, I still read new posts every day. You've been greatly missed around here! Good to know you're doing better, and I hope you'll be back home very soon.
