Yeah, it’s their annual huge series sale. Over 2300 books on sale, all,part of a series so mostly fiction but not all. All priced between $4 and $6 I think.

Thanks for the heads up. I'm not a member either, so I took a book to the next to last step and I was being charged the sale price. So, it's open to everyone.

That's correct on the prices. You can sort by three price groups - $4, $5, and $6.

Sometimes I think these sales are really misnamed. The "annual huge series sale". Really? The sale at the end of Feb had FAR more series titles on sale. This sale has one, maybe two titles in a series on sale. In Feb. I saw many series where nearly every title was on sale... and at better prices. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure there are a few gems to be had but it seemed quiet a grandiose title for a rather lackluster sale. Then again, they are letting us non-members play so maybe I should just shut up and be grateful. Beggars can't be choosers applies.

SYNC Audio -- starts 28 Apr @ 12:01 am ET

SYNC starts tonight at midnight ET. If you haven't participated in the program before, you need to register and set up the Sora app in order to download the free books. These books have DRM and you MUST use the Sora app on your mobile device or soraapp.com in your browser in order to download the books. I'll post the first offer after midnight.

Setting Up Sora

Can I use Libby or the OverDrive app for the SYNC program instead of the Sora app?

The SYNC program will only work with Sora, the student reading app from OverDrive. You don’t need to be affiliated with a school to use Sora with the SYNC program.


First register for SYNC. Then set up Sora.


How do I set up Sora?

1. Download Sora from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store, or go to soraapp.com in your browser.
   
2. In Sora, tap I have a setup code (at the bottom of the screen)
   
3. Enter this setup code: audiobooksync and tap Get Started!
   
4. Enter the email address you used to sign up for SYNC
   
5. Tap Explore (at the bottom of the screen) to see the week’s featured titles [SYNC 2022 starts April 28]

I already use Sora for school. How do I add SYNC titles?

If you already use Sora, you’ll need to add the SYNC program’s library. Here are the steps:

1. In Sora, open the menu (in the top-right corner)
   
2. Select Add library
   
3. Search for audiobooksync and select the library from the results
   
4. Enter the email address you used to sign up for SYNC
