I’m an audiobook evangelist. I rarely go more than a few days without listening to one, and I’ll blast through two or three in a single road trip. But audiobooks are expensive and their prices don’t seem to be moving downwards like their printed counterparts. So, if you want to score a few audiobooks for dirt cheap, now’s the time to check out this promotional deal from Audible. If you’ve never subscribed to Audible before, you can get three months of service plus three audiobook credits for just under $3 total. This is a fantastic deal since a single bestselling audiobook can go for $20 to $30 when bought conventionally, even as a digital download. Audible will keep you subscribed after the end of the promotional period for $15 per month going forward. But here’s the fun part: if you cancel after you get your third credit, you’ll still have access to the Audible app on your phone, tablet, PC, etc. You can download and/or listen to your audiobooks forever, even after you stop being subscribed. I’ll often stop my Audible subscription when I’ve built up a sizable backlog of unread books, then restart when I’m through. The Audible app works exactly the same whether my subscription is active or inactive. You can also listen to Audible audiobooks on any Kindle e-reader (since Audible is owned by Amazon). Here’s another tip to maximize your audiobook buying power: keep an eye out for sales. One Audible credit typically costs about $15 (or sometimes $10... Continue reading at 'PC World'
