Just curious is this is the EXACT same book that is on Amazon.com for $2.99. Is your version longer or better in some way? Thanks for your time.
Jordan Smith –
This edition has been expanded with an appendix of Edison’s patents, patent sketches, and pages from his diary. The appendix is not in the edition on Amazon.
Joy in Nepal –
Thanks for making that clear. I appreciate your time.
Kimberly Bouk –
I saw the $2.99 price also. It is for a digital version for the Kindle.
Rcmark7 –
The audio book was rather boring to listen to. Add some drama in the voice to make it more interesting.
Doug Smith –
The audio version is designed to be a simple unabridged reading of the book without frills. We encourage anyone considering the audiobook to download the free sample and see how you like it. And as usual, we have a 30-day return policy if you’re not happy with your purchase for any reason.

My children are enjoying this. They are 3, 5, 7, 13, & 13. They all loved the story about the explosion on the train! The narrations have been great!
