I've noticed when going through member book lists that the audio books no longer say "worth 2 credits".  Are audio books now only worth one credit? (I don't have any posted so it doesn't affect me).  If they are still worth 2 credits how would someone know?  I've seen at least two people's book shelfs that don't show the audio books being worht more than one credit.  Just curious.  Pat

Pat--

Can you link one or two or give an ISBN, so I can look?  Audio books are still 2 credits, I just ordered some earlier in the week.  It doesn't say 2 credits when you look at someone's bookshelf, but it does on the book info page.

Cheers,
Catt

Could you point some out Pat?  All Audio books should be 2 credits except some small children's books.

I hope I did this right, but I pulled this from someone's Book shelf.  I always thought the "Audio book 2 credit' thing was above the ORDER THIS BOOK, but according to Elizabeth it only shows at the book info page.  I've never listed an audio book, so never noticed it before.  Thanks everyone, but if you order from someone's bookshelf and your new you're not going to know it will cost you two credits until you get a little farther down in the ordering process.  Pat

ETA - when I posted this note it wiped out the Order this book, BIR, etc., that's on the right side of the book title, so that doesn't show in this message.
