Wow, let begging commence! This could backfire though couldn't it? to a small degree anyway im thinking but as always i suspect the bezos behemoth can swallow a few audible loses. Only one recommendation receivable eh, ok then.

A dedicated thread will appear later today in the Audiobook Discussions forum. I was waiting for some interest before I started it. |

Yeah thats why i used the word potentially. And its not free advertising. Even though its digital media Amazon don't pull the audiobooks out of thin air. It wasn't free to them somebody somewhere got paid.

It's an odd promotion, but perhaps the idea is to get people hooked on audio books. It's one of the few growing aspects of books right now and I know some people avoid it because of the higher expense of audio books. |

In the UK you get one free audiobook when you sign up for the 1-month Audible trial (I have a 3-month 'Prime Special Offer' currently being displayed for Audible, so 3 freebies).
Is it different in the US or is the 'send a book' thing on top of the free trial? I'll admit knowing next to nothing about Audible given that the chances of finding a combination of something I want to listen to and by a narrator who doesn't get on my nerves almost immediately is very slim. Fair to say that I just don't really get on with audiobooks ![]() |

It seems like a really good idea though, even if they are giving up potential sales and spending money. I suspect it will pay off pretty well for them. |

I got a free book out it; but then, I'm not one of Audible's best customers. This program definitely wasn't aimed at customers like me, because I won't pay more than $2.99 for a book.

I would guess the Audible is looking to get new members out of this, since you have to be a member to get the free book.
