I also saw a person buy the first book coming out of the store. I really enjoyed the series so far.

Sadly not on LibroFM, I think they're audible exclusives, so I can't buy them. The audio is very enjoyable.

Thanks, I have a Lazy Librarian helping me at my local library. They prowl* so I don't have to.

I'm thinking of building my own Bookshelf as a replacement for my Lazy Librarian, because It could use Hardcover. Also I liked the interface when I used to Read* so Bookshelf might suit me better.

Anyways, I stupidly pointed Bookshelf at the same folder my Lazy Librarian was using, and they had a bit of a falling out. Stuff was lost, stuff was broken, there was much gnashing of teeth and rolling back.

*Are these things on? I thought .world was anti... Anyways

Being audible exclusive means you can't buy it, not that you can't hear them.

They are rereleasing them on their app, with additional voice actors (it was only Jeff Hays plus some questionable cameos) and sound/music.

The sample seems a bit distracting, but might buy for a second hearing

I know:

The audio is very enjoyable.

I haven't heard the app version. If it's similar to the Graphic Audio productions it would be a little much (production) for me. I might buy some to show some (non-amazon) support.

The taking the big guy's (Amazon) money means giving up the little guy's (me) money. The gamble, for them, is the big guy will give them more money than all the little guys would've. I don't know how much money they got, I just know they took the gamble, so I can't give them money.
