Audible would like me to know that three titles from my wish list are currently on sale. There's "image link image", "image link image", and the one I'm personally excited about the most: "image link image".

@jscholes I didn't like image link image that much. I'd recommend image link image way more. Image link image was okay, but kinda formulaic.

@jscholes It's good you have such interesting and varied tastes.

@jscholes Ah, the excitement of wondering what's in that image! (Sarcasm alert).

@jscholes no I can tell you, image link image is much better then image link image. But in honesty, it’s really a shame that not even an audio book provider gets this right lmao.

@jscholes Ah. that image. Recently, I've been deleting those emails. I've been trying to manage pretty much everything I can using the mobile app. It's far less frustrating than the desktop site these days.

@jscholes I absolutely can't believe you had the nerve, the actual audacity to *not* mention the biggest, the best, the most important one. "image link image" I mean honestly. How could you?

@jscholes Especially irritating when the sale is "get this with one credit", a huge saving on the one credit it usually is.

@petrichor I'd love to do that but Libro would cost me around five times what I currently spend on Audible.

@jscholes I don't know what browser you're using, but have you tried @jcsteh's AxSHammer add-on for Firefox to see if something they did (likely with ARIA) can be resolved that way?

@twynn This was in Apple Mail, and I could click the links to go to the book-specific pages and read the details there. The wider point being that Amazon should be able to label some book covers by now.

Still, axSHammer is great so I'll take the excuse to thank @jcsteh for its existence while we're here.

@jscholes You would think, but I am almost positive they are regressing due to automation of coding. But yes, @jcsteh's add-on had gotten me out of badly used ARIA many a time.

@jscholes @twynn I've seen this sort of nonsense in emails from other streaming style services too. I think Netflix, but I might be misremembering. It's gotten to the point where I just delete those "now available" or "coming soon" emails without even reading them because I'm 99% sure that the useful content will be unreadable to me anyway without following every single link.
