This is a free to the public post on Patreon so you can download and listen to the retail samples you are interested in. Is it a pretty solution? No. Is it a solution? Yes.
That is approximately 70 audiobooks, though.I will update that post as I release more audiobooks, and I will try to embed the sample in the Patreon announcement post for those who prefer having access to samples.
No, I cannot put the sample on the store page currently. Patreon doesn’t seem to allow it, and if they do, the setting to do it is so buried I haven’t been able to find it.
So, this is the solution you’re getting for the moment.
Something is always better than nothing in terms of problem solving.
Thank you. That had to be an awful lot of work!
