Just got my monthly credit today... Almost spent it, but noticed the items on my wish list were discounted.

Pretty much everything is discounted. Which works out well since I still have credit from the 4 in a month.

I think I've stumbled on Audible's Christmas freebie for 2014; either that or it's just a random freebie the elves left lying around. Until January 31 you can get "The Snow Queen" by Hans Christian Anderson for free here. I didn't know this but it says this story was the inspiration for Disney's "Frozen."
Enjoy! skinmaan Your audiobook bloodhound |

The narrator is not the same as the one that skinmaan posted. For this one above it is Angele Masters. From personal experience, I do not know which one of the different narrators is better. Julia Whelan, of Skinmaan's post, is probably the better one, however, because she is "Audible's 2014 Narrator of the Year." Too, if you're concerned that Amazon may not release the Kindle book until after Christmas, and that you'll be out of the Christmas mood then, you probably will want to get the one that Skinmaan mentioned. haha Or, you can get them both. How about that? Last edited by GtrsRGr8; 12-13-2014 at 12:49 AM. |

I think when audible says unabridged for the book they mean the stories are complete not that the audiobook has all of Hans Christian Anderson stories.I had this problem with the Naxos Version of Oscar Wilde's Fairy tales.They changed the digital version's title to select unabridged tales or some such thing after I complained.
I think this one is complete: http://www.audible.com/pd/Classics/F...8478694&sr=1-3 |

I got it over a year ago as part of an order of 15 Whispersync titles ($0.99 ea) that I used a coupon for. At this point, I've wiped out all of the $0.99 titles I wanted and am now working on the $1.99~$2.99 titles. I heart Whispersync and coupons

There is a particular kind of written (as opposed to audio) work (there may be more than one, but I know of only one) which is described differently. I will refrain from going into all of the details, unless someone wants to know, but will mention one thing. In those works, the word "exhaustive" in the title means that all things are (supposed to be) there; the word "complete" most commonly means that all things are not there, the work is abridged! Yes, it can be confusing. Last edited by GtrsRGr8; 12-13-2014 at 06:40 PM. |

Great find. I'm headed over there now to see if I, as a "Listener Light" subscriber/member, can take advantage of it. Thanks. UPDATE: Hmmm . . . I got this message when I went to the Audible page that Cnet linked to: Sorry, you might have overlooked something. Please check the promotion details. If you think weve made a mistake, contact Customer Care at 1-888-283-5051. I'm going to check into it as soon as I get through with this message, and then let everyone know what I found out.
