Joseph Kohr (joekohr) | 5 comments I don't know if anyone has mentioned this, but I just discovered this and thought I'd share. I use my local library with the Overdrive app to get most of my books. I'm currently reading the Martian. My library has the option to download the book as a Kindle book, which I always do. When I was looking at the book on Amazon, there was an offer to get the Audible edition for $3, since I already have the ebook version. I have a feeling there's many books that offer an Audible discount, and it seems like you can get the discount even if the book was borrowed from your library's digital collection.

Steven Paul Leiva (goodreadscomuser_stevenpaulleiva) See if this link get you to Kindle Books with Narration. If it does, you'll see a range of books available.

And may I be so bold to suggest my own novel (featured on Sword & Laser) "Traveling in Space". It is part of this program, and the audiobook, performed by Jeff Cannata, has been highly praised.

I have actually been aware of this for a while, but have kept it to myself because I was afraid the loophole would get closed if the secret got out. Amazon does own GR after all! The walls have ears!
