Audiobooks discussion

I keep forgetting to check Whispersync deals, some of them are far better value than any of the sales

Excellent value

Has anyone read the author's first book about the boy in the suitcase?

Hated it, Kathy. Didn't finish it. It seemed like the premise was that the main character did nothing but make horrible choices. I kept screaming to myself, "Take the kid to the authorities!" Anyway, others may not have had the same reaction I did, but I could not recommend it.

Thanks, Kristie. I remember when the book was being promoted by Amazon. It didn't really draw me in, but the book got so much positive feedback.

I was thinking about this the other day, there is a page where I can find my ebooks that can be whispersynced with an audiobook but how come they don't have it for the other way around for audiobooks I own I should be able to get the ebook at a discounted rate too.

Just a thought and maybe Audible Support can say why this option isn't available too.

an excellent idea MissSusie... <><

I agree that this feature would be great. I always assumed the feature only went in the Amazon-to-Audible direction because the W/S pricing works that way.

Don't know if they offer the discounted price but when you look at the audio in your audible library it offers the companion e-book (if available) and if it is still discounted that would be the bonus.

This month's free Whispersync book for the US is Mansfield Park. You buy the Kindle book first, then you can add the Audible book for free.

Kindle edition:
Mansfield Park ( On Amazon)

I THINK this is the correct Audible edition, but I grabbed a copy a few years back so I can't be sure. Follow Mansfield Park. I just listened to this a couple of months ago, and it was very good. But follow the links from the ebook edition listed above to make sure you get whichever edition is free.

The Death of Dulgath is on sale until April 16th. The ebook is $2.99 and the Audible is $1.99. This is book 3 of The Riyria Chronicles which is a great fantasy series.

Thanks. Grabbed the ebook.

For those of you who have Kindle ebook collections, and use Audible, it's always worth periodically checking for Whispersync audio titles for your Kindle ebooks.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/audible/mat...

Audible bring out new audio titles all the time, and periodically Whispersync existing titles, so it's worth checking every now and then. Ebooks you have already bought may suddenly have discounted audio.

I check mine every couple of weeks.

The Cupcake Witch (The Chancellor Fairy Tales Book 2) is only .99/1.99 on Whispersync special for two more days.

I absolutely love this series! If I did this correctly, here is the Amazon link: http://www.amazon.com/Cupcake-Witch-C...

Thanks for the reminder, Jack. Just checked mine, and didn't find any I wanted this time.

I finally had a little money and added quite a few this last month. The improvement as I see it would be when I get a kindle book and the audible becomes an option they add a wish list of those to audible.

As I said in our Current Reads thread, The Adventure of English: The Biography of a Language is one book that really needs to be whispersynced. There are a lot of Old English quotes that are quoted only so you could hear how close they sound, and you lose that when you eye-read the book. But, you also really need to see what the quoted text actually looks like to get the full impact of it. Definitely a book that needs to be whispersynced, but of course it isn't. <><

Prime Asset (The Complete Novel) (Corps Justice Book 3) http://amzn.to/2b5WIVu is free. The audio is $1.99.

Two books by Terry Goodkind are currently free and the Whispersync books are $1.99.

Wizard's First Rule
Temple of the Winds

The Perfect Assassin http://amzn.to/2bIAxdE is 99 cents and the audio is $3.99. Hopefully, I shared this deal in time. It might end today, and this book appears to be pretty popular.


For those who might interested, I found out about this book via an email from www.booklemur.com. I like the site because I only get emails about books in the genres I chose. There's no way to know if a deal includes an audiobook until you visit the Amazon link, but usually there are a couple of deals with audiobooks. Anyway, sign up is free.

Amazon's Kindle Daily Deal today includes 2016 bestsellers at a reduced price. Many are Whispersynced.
