For readers who enjoy having both audio and text versions of the books they read, one common question is: “If I buy an Audible book do I get the Kindle version too?”

The answer, in general, is no…not unless you buy both the audiobook and ebook. 

But if you are interested in having both the Audible and Kindle versions of a book, there are a few things you should know to help you get them for less.
