Actually this was the reason I first liberated my ebooks.

Yep, me three. I've got a (not very) little list, which is now only a source of reproach. The irony, such as it is, is that I'd have bought the audiobooks at the Whispersync price if I were able; now I'll borrow them from OverDrive if possible, but will otherwise give a miss to most of them, as audiobook credits are scarce and dear. I honestly don't knew which way the publisher is better off, with fewer but higher priced sales or a higher volume at Whispersync prices.

I would think they'd want a higher volume at Whispersync prices, but, hey, I'm a little biased.

There's a couple of series I still want that the Kindle prices are somewhat reasonable. Knowing my luck, I'd purchase the Kindle version, the companion Audible book, and the next month the Overdrive / Whispersync deals would be back!
