I buy a lot of my favorite books via Amazon Kindle Store but almost never read them and therefore it\u2019s a waste of money. However, I never have a problem finishing an AudioBook. Related Note: I have almost hit 45K miles on my Golf since purchase in April of 2013. I drive a lot so Audible works well for me.<\/p>\n<p>I had a bit of an audio backlog a few months ago so I cancelled my Audible subscription. I went today to pre-order the book, \u201cBecoming Steve Jobs: The Evolution of a Reckless Upstart into a Visionary Leader\u201d which is receiving some nice reviews from my fellow bloggers. Audible is running a promo:<\/p>\n<p>Pre-Order this book with a 30-Day trial. You\u2019re basically committing to the $15 a month 1 credit deal but you can finish this book in 16 hours and cancel if you\u2019re not a fan of the experience and the book was free. Their iOS app is tremendous both on iPad and iPhone.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a great deal on the book and worth a try.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Pre-Order on Audible:\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.audible.com\/pd\/Bios-Memoirs\/Becoming-Steve-Jobs-Audiobook\/B00R8HJRZM\">http:\/\/www.audible.com\/pd\/Bios-Memoirs\/Becoming-Steve-Jobs-Audiobook\/B00R8HJRZM<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Amazon Pre-Order:\u00a0http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Becoming-Steve-Jobs-Evolution-Visionary-ebook\/dp\/B00NDTU9VA\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Note, neither of those links are earning me a kick-back.
