Once you have Kindle Unlimited, you can PURCHASE the Audible Audiobook versions at a reduced price. This will let you keep them even after you have cancelled your Kindle Unlimited package.
Follow these steps:
-Add the Kindle book to your unlimited library (make sure it says "Read for Free", DONT CLICK BUY)
-Click on "My Kindle Unlimited Library" or go to this page[amazon.com] and DELETE the audiobook from your library (may take a minute to show up)
-Go back to the kindle page and switch the format from kindle to audiobook, and you can purchase it for the reduced price
-Return the kindle unlimited book to make space in your library for more

I only included books I consider to be a good deal (50% off audible retail price, kindle price of >$2).
Also, I excluded Romance, Self Development, and Business books... you're welcome
I sorted these by number of audible reviews descending (for series I used the reviews for the first book). I know this is an arbitrary and horrid method, but I'm only human and am getting tired of staring at my screen.
I have no affiliation with Amazon or Audible, I'm just an Audible fan who has a bone to pick with their limited search and filtering capabilities.
Thanks for taking the time to create the list. This "trick" has been known for quite some time though. It also works with books checked out from Overdrive through your public library if it is available in your area.

Good to know, yeah... the point of this was to sort by number of reviews, and identify pricing which I consider a good deal according to my criteria. Some of the $7.49's could be $8.13 for audible members, so I filtered down to just the ones that were a significant savings.

How does the trick work? After I checkout ebook and sync to Kindle, I don't see option to buy discounted audiobook?

You have to SWITCH THE FORMAT from kindle to audiobook and then you can buy it
