So having gotten my free book from Audible, I went to cancel last night, and Audible/Amazon went through the "please don't leave!" routine like an Overly Attached Girlfriend/Boyfriend.
First they offered me three months of membership for half price ($7.49 I think, instead of the usual monthly $14.99). I said "no, continue cancelling", and the next desperation move was a full year for $9.95. I did the math; that's 12 audiobooks (one per month) for less than eightythree cents each, so I accepted those terms.
Apparently regular monthly users get 30% off the purchase price of any books they buy, in addition to the monthly credit for one free book, while my "Listener Light" membership just gives me the free credit each month plus access to periodic sales up to 50% off. I wasn't planning on spending any money beyond the ten dollar fee, so I don't really care about not getting that "perk".
[EDIT] The "Listener Light" membership does NOT give a monthly free book credit. See post below.
