I prefer unabridged, but if the book is one I really want, and if it's abridged, I live with it. They usually doo a reasonable job. You're talking to someone who has been reading for decades when a book, any book, was great, and a book you really wanted was a miracle. ----- Original Message ----- From: Kim Friedman To: bookshare-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Saturday, September 26, 2009 7:33 AM Subject: [bookshare-discuss] Re: audible is having a sale Hi, Tracy, (sorry for misspellings), I've joined audible.com and I get 2 credits per month. I've probably been emailed about the sale. One thing though, Tracy, I prefer just getting unabridged audiobooks. Hopefully other folks will try audible.com out. Regards, Kim. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ From: Traci Evans [mailto:season@xxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Saturday, September 26, 2009 2:56 AM To: bookshare-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [bookshare-discuss] audible is having a sale Hi everyone, I know some of you listen to audible downloaded books. If you don't, now might be a good time to try it out. They have selected books on sale for $4.95. I saw a title by Greg Isles, one by Sandra Brown, a Jennifer Crussie, Jane Castle. They have a lot more but those are the authors I am familiar with. I think they may have something like 150 fiction titles and 150 nonfiction titles. I know the site can be iffy but I have minimal problems with Window Eyes. Also, if you join for the first time, I think the monthly fee is $7 for three months and you get one credit each month. Most of the books I've seen are 1 credit and I purchased a regularly priced book at $7 instead of the whopping $38! If you don't want a monthly fee, you could always try the plan I had which is a yearly fee of 9.99. No credits on that plan but it gives you member status. __________ Information from ESET NOD32 Antivirus, version of virus signature database 4459 (20090926) __________ The message was checked by ESET NOD32 Antivirus. http://www.eset.com __________ Information from ESET NOD32 Antivirus, version of virus signature database 4459 (20090926) __________ The message was checked by ESET NOD32 Antivirus. http://www.eset.com __________ Information from ESET NOD32 Antivirus, version of virus signature database 4459 (20090926) __________ The message was checked by ESET NOD32 Antivirus. http://www.eset.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ No virus found in this incoming message.
