These two box sets are a fantastic way to outfit your digital library with both the Kindle and Audible editions of FIVE classic novels per set, at a bargain price.
The Audible editions normally go for $48.99 each, but if you buy the bargain-priced Kindle editions at $6.99 per box set you can add the Audible narration for the entire box set for just $1.99 more!
That means you can get each set for $9 in both formats, or both sets—TEN books in all—in both formats for under $20! Prices accurate as of this writing, on 2/29/16.
Considering that these sets go for $59.99 in hardcover format, which doesn’t even include the Audible editions, this is an amazing deal.
