I figured out how to get good quality audio books cheap.
You subscribe to one of several daily newsletters that list free or discounted books for the Kindle. (No, you don’t need one, just set up an account and download the app,) and then “buy” the books when they are listed for free. (BookBub is one you can find on the Internet)
Authors often release books on the Kindle for a short time for free or a good discount so they can get some quick reviews, or get you hooked on a series so you buy more books.
You can save them to the “Kindle Cloud Reader” or to the Kindle app which will let you read them on your computer or phone, but that’s not what you do with them.
When you buy a free book this way, some will have a link to buy the “Whisper sync for voice” version to go with the book. These are usually around $1.99 and up, where otherwise they would be $14.99 or more. They are all recorded by professional voice actors, so the quality is pretty good.
After that you can listen to the audio book on your phone or computer and you’ve only spent two bucks for it.
I have an old iPhone that the SIM card’s been removed from, but the wi-fi works great and I download the audio books to it, then play them through the radio in my car while I’m driving instead of listening to the radio.
Since the audio books tend to be anywhere from four to twenty hours long, they usually last me a couple of weeks so I seldom spend more than six bucks a month on them, plus there are free audio books too.
Anyway, I get more ‘reading’ done this way than I would otherwise, and for less than the cost of a single paperback per month.
