I assume I know the answer (presumably "nyet"), but just thought I'd check...

On that Matchmaker page, for adding Audible narration to Kindle books you already own, the one listed on @tubemonkey's first post about half-way down, is there any way to sort by price or category or anything like that?

Or do they just come up in whatever order Amazon chooses...which looks sort of like reverse purchase date...

Why is it that Audible sales are either feast or famine? I either find nothing I want or way more than I should really purchase. My wallet will be crying after this.

Interesting how this "2 month free offer" (I joined Jan 30) is ending on Feb 29, when they will begin charging me. So much for it covering until the March 17 period when you must still be a member, to get that $20 bonus for listening.

Grrrr. That's not MY definition of two months. Planning to speak with them, but haven't worked out how yet.

If you're referring to the NSLS promo, then it is an error. Mine showed as 1 month when I looked at the member page but I did not get charged when that day came and went. Keep an eye on your CC statement and if it gets hit contact customer service. You can go back to the sign-up page and do a screen cap to prove it should be for 2 months.

Yeah. They also sent me an email saying 1 month.

Me too. I'm sure we'll all be keeping an eye on this.

I've already received my second month and wasn't charged for it.

Try this:

Budget yourself for x many books for each sale. If there's nothing you want on one sale, then save that money and buy twice as many on the next sale or the one after that. No guilt pangs or wallet pains, because you're always within your budget

What time span did yours cover? I'm wondering if the "free 2 months" was not two months from when one started, but "January and February" regardless of when I started.

23 Jan ~ 22 Feb = 1st mo free -- received 1 free credit
23 Feb ~ 22 Mar = 2nd mo free -- received 1 free credit

This promo is 2 months starting on the day you sign up, not just Jan and Feb. My next bill date is 22 Mar, so I'll cancel on 20 Mar so I'm not charged.
