Or directly download the files to my computerĪudible allows this. Just know that if you do it this way, you're probably going to regularly be paying 2-3 times what you could be paying for a digital only copy. This is the only way I was able to get my hands on a copy of the audiobook of The Last Hero. For instance, The Last Continent CD is being listed on Audible for upwards of $83 whereas I found an Ebay listing for just under $20 US (not including shipping from the UK which is more than cost of the item). Amazon's listing for the audio CDs can have obscene pricing. If this is what you have your heart set on doing, specifically for the old Isis Audio versions, Ebay will be your best friend. Is there anyplace I can either get hard copies If I can still download and listen to something they aren't even selling anymore, that gives me some confidence in the permanence of my cloud based library. Now, who can say what the future holds, but personally I'm not worried about loosing access. I literally just tried it to make sure it still worked. I can still download and listen to them any time I want. Even in this case, I've never lost access to listen to these books. They've removed the option to purchase them through Amazon and Audible in preparation for the new audiobook releases. Since then (to my knowledge), these stories are no longer available as audiobooks, full stop. For example, I purchased books like Eric, The Last Content and Interesting Times through Kindle to get access to the audiobook through Whispersync. I get distrust of cloud based digital libraries, but that hasn't been my experience. Plus, they're getting some big name actors to do the readings which is pretty cool.īut I don't trust Amazon to not decide that they have some copyright dispute with the Pratchett estate or something and pull the books out of my kindle library.
This is a huge boon for the earlier books especially since the quality of the recordings isn't really up to modern standards. They're re-recording all the audiobooks and they'll start publishing in April.
