Hi Mary, I almost always prefer to purchase via the Amazon primary site because the Audible version is much less expensive when you also purchase the Kindel version, at the same time.
I recently purchased a Kendle with Whisper sync title for a total of $11 while purchasing the Audible title, only, would have cost $22. My advice? Always check for Whisper sync and, if available, buy the Kindle version with audible narration.

It’s also stupid if the cash price is less than what you paid for the credit. If you’re willing to trade efficiency for cash, OK. I’m not. If they didn’t have the option, I would just do all my cash purchases online. On the website on my computer. However, since this option is available, I expect it to work all of the time, not just when it feels like it.
