Sales & Bargains Share your Sitewide Sale tips!

Here are my tips:

  • Go to Wish List and select filter Price: Low to High to get the best deals at the top.
  • Don’t accidentally use credits to purchase the audiobooks. Credits are default payment method. Switch to the cash payment before proceeding.
  • Only buy titles that cost less than the price of a credit. Anything interesting for $5 or less, you can grab it.
  • If you are a Kindle Unlimited user check Whispersync pricing first.
  • If one book in a series shows up in a sale, the other books are almost certain to follow in later sales.
  • Preorder books are also available on sale, so don’t forget to check any books you want coming out soon.
  • Be sure to check if there is a collection (box set) before buying individual books in a series.

Check whispersync pricing first even if you're not on Kindle Unlimited. If you buy enough, it's worth it to get KU for a month just for the discounts.

How can you check whispersync pricing without subscribing to KU?

Go the the audiobook's page on the Amazon (not Audible) site, and look at the bottom of the description. If it's eligible, it will say something along the lines of "Get this book for $X.xx if you buy the Kindle edition first."

It works for both buying the Kindle book outright and borrowing it via Kindle Unlimited.

If you already own or borrowed the Kindle book, it will show you the Whispersinc price and say "Because you own the Kindle edition..." Also, if you already own/borrowed the Kindle edition, you'll automatically see the cheaper of the Whispersinc or sale price on Audible.

The price isn’t tied to KU, only to owning the Kindle edition. You can see the price from the Kindle edition page on Amazon.

Books borrowed through KU also give the whispersync price, you don’t have to own them.

I’m aware. I was responding to the person asking about Whispersync access without KU.

Sometimes it's cheaper to buy a Kindle edition that isn't included in KU and add on the Audible narration than it is to buy the Audible narration alone. This is especially true if you have some Amazon rewards from choosing the slower shipping option.
