Audible Daily Deal -- exp 25 Oct

The Neon Rain - James L Burke ($3.95) --or-- The Neon Rain ($2.99)

Here's an interesting turnaround. After selling Blackstone Audio to AudioGo last year, Blackstone's former owners buy it back; along with all US operations of AudioGo. Meanwhile, UK-based AudioGo is in dire straits and files for administration (bankruptcy).

Note: Downpour is the consumer arm of Blackstone Audio.

see this thread - Blackstone Audio Buys AudioGo US - for details and discussion

Amazon's MatchBook feature is now active, offering discounted Kindle versions of select titles alongside orders of print copies. What does this have to do with audiobook specials, you ask? Well, at least some of these titles are also Whispersync ready, allowing buyers to "chain" titles and get some nice deals. For example: because I bought a print copy of Joe Hill's 20th Century Ghosts in 2007, I can get the Kindle e-book, ordinarily $7.99, for $2.99, and add the unabridged audiobook, ordinarily $15.95, for $7.99. Likewise, Joyce Carol Oates' A Widow's Tale goes from $9.78 to $2.99 for Kindle, and then $24.95 to $3.99 for audio. It doesn't seem like there are a huge number of MatchBook titles so far vis-a-vis the size of Amazon, and of course only some of those are Whispersynced, but if you have much of a print book order history at Amazon, you might as well go to the MatchBook launch page and see what the search tool brings up.

Excellent point! Amazon is really making an effort to bundle your purchases. A similar program is Matchmaker - which matches your Kindle books with companion audiobooks from Audible.

Bottom line - always check for Whispersync-ready titles anytime Amazon offers a Kindle book for sale.

Sorry I missed this post.

I don't know of any way to filter out a list of titles that are available for Australian residents. I suspect you'll have to keep clicking each title. Maybe someone else knows a solution?
