In my haste to get something for free, I ordered an ebook instead of an audio book!:o

Hopefully I can get a refund on it as I don't see myself reading it on my iPhone!:rolleyes:

Couldn't recommend this highly enough. Sadly I paid for this through iTunes. Just got the Jobs book there.

Thanks OP.

Coogan or Partridge?

Some real bargains there - the full unabridged 'Ulysses' for free - went for 'Finnegans Wake' though so I'll see if I can run and understand that at the same time! Thanks for the heads up OP

Thanks OP

However, I'm slightly wary of giving my credit card details when I'm not actually buying something.

I saw a similar deal with another site before (not as well known as amazon), and I ended up paying .99c a month for a few months before I copped it.

I presume this is ok, as it's associated with Amazon though...?

Its grand, amazon are very cool imo. To make sure you don't forget, download your chosen book and then cancel your subscription. Can listen to it on your phone, PC, whatever.
Great deal

Pj!

Thanks Op. Will give an audiobook a go.

I downloaded the software, installed and all, picked the Alan Partridge book. ****ing awful software. I've uninstalled and I'm about to pirate the book so I can actually listen to it on whichever device I like without hassle.

Yea, software is rubbish. The android app looks pretty good. 100% with you on the pirates but some people are still too scared to be at that so, the freebie might be useful for them.
Also, you can go into the settings and use Windows media player if you prefer.

Exercise and Finnegans Wake.

That's an appealing combination.

To follow up on this, fair play to Apple as they've decided to refund me the price of the book!

Next thing is to choose an audio book.

What's the general concensus? If you're torn between a few different books, should you go for the one which would cost the most to buy ('cause it's free) or go for the longest (since it's audio)?

Great deal

Good idea, ill try that, thanks!

In fact, even if you are interested in keeping on your subscription, you should cancel because you will immediately be offered the 1st 3 months for £3.99 rather than the regular price of £7.99.

I was an audible member for a few months. I kept on my sub for a bit after my free one ran out as there were a few other books I wanted my monthly credit for.

No probs cancelling my subscription after that.
