OVERPRICED & SHORT

I paid for this book with one full credit on my Audible account, which costs $16 per month. That one credit is what I receive through my monthly subscription. My wife bought the same exact book for $3.99 through the Kindle app. And for that, I’m out, my Audible account is getting deleted. F’k you Jeff Bezos!
