hi sharon,
I didn't get an email and I am a member.  I do have my preferences set to 
remember my login so when I go to the site, I'm already logged in.  Like I 
said, I never received an email.  The way I heard about the sale was by going 
to the site and hearing Window Eyes read the first link.  So I clicked on the 
first link at the top of the Window Eyes page and voila.
The link read something like
250 win win sale.

  You have to go in using the link you got about the sale. You have to be a 
member. Look for the word sale; there is a combo box to switch between fiction 
and nonfiction.
  Lots of the stuff on sale is at Bookshare already.

    Hi, Traci, I got an email from audible.com informing me about the sale, but 
when I entered in on the web site, I didn't know what to select in order to see 
those books on sale. I may not buy anything, but I'd sure like to look. Any 
help received will be really appreciated. Thanks and best regards, Kim.

    Hi Kim
    I usually won't even bother with an abridged book I am so serious about 
needing to know every tidbit in a book.  Once I got an abridged copy of a Nora 
Robers book and it was a fairly good editting.  But there was thisw one part 
which I felt was pivotal to the story itself, a mere couple of sentences which 
would have shed more light on the why something happened and they skipped the 
conversation.  It was only mentioned in someone  ele's narative to another 
person and I didn't like that.  I was fortunate to find the title at the NLS 
and ran down there to get it.  I read the exchange and it was like one of those 
lightbulb moments.  Since then, I won't read abridged copies.   When I was 
perusing Audible's sale list, I saw quite afew unabridged recordings.

      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.

      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.
