I had the same problem with a couple of them. I went to Manage My Kindle and deleted those titles and then repurchased them. I was then allowed to get the audio book.

The Pride and Prejudice one looks tricky; it looks like you'd have to pay something either way (unless you'd previously bought the ebook for free)
This P&P ebook is free but you have to pay $9.95 for the pro narration (by Kate Reading). This one, on the other hand, costs $6.99 but you get the pro narration (by Lindsay Duncan) for free. |

I had it in my Library - I had "bought" it in February of this year. When I pull up the order details, and then try to click on the "product info" link, it leads me to an invalid web address. I opened the book up and looked, and don't find an ASIN - it looks as if it's just a public domain version. It doesn't even have a title page. I wish I could help more. About all I can think of is to give you a picture of the cover, but I really don't think it's available anymore. [edit] Oh, and one other thing - I also had to be already signed into my Audible account with my Kindle account info when I clicked kg3's link. I have two Audible accounts, one associated with Amazon, and one created a long time ago that is stand-alone. I was originally logged into the stand-alone one, and clicking on the link gave me the same Audible version, but it didn't show as free. I then realized which account I was in, logged out, and re-logged in with the other one, the one associated with my Kindle, and it just popped right up.

I've found a few at 49 cents, where some previous purchase apparently qualifies me (but if you buy them now, they link to 4.95 versions), such as Time Machine. |

heads-up on linked accounts
Just as a note, after getting a couple of freebie book/audio combos, i downloaded the iOS app so see how well the multi-device sync would work.
The app asked for my *username* and password. Because it asked for username instead of e-mail address, it accepted my *pre-linking* Audible user and pw, but did not actually show me anything that's in my Library. I had to log out, and log back in with my Amazon.com e-mail address and password to see my Library. All of my new and old purchases are available through the app. Now I'll go test whispersync, and then download the Android app after dinner. Update: No joy with "whispersync for voice." Looks like it's still beta. if I'm listening on iOS, I can catch up Kindle reading to that spot, but the reverse direction doesn't work. Maybe they'll get it working before year's end. (and, as expected, Audible listening on an eink Kindle doesn't sync at all--announcement was pretty clear you need a Fire.) Last edited by curtw; 09-08-2012 at 08:02 PM. |

-->koland
The ASIN for the version of Pride and Prejudice (tied with the Free one from Audible) was not in my Amazon account or in Calibre, but I was able to find it directly in My Kindle Content folder. Here's the ASIN: B000JMLFLW -Hope this helps you to get it! -->sufue Glad you were able to get it too, I hoped I wasn't the only one! -->Everyone - Make sure you're signed into your Amazon linked Audible account before trying to get it (as sufue also said). |

A quick scan of my Kindle library matched up some cheap audiobooks that go with some discounted ebooks I've collected over the past year. I haven't yet decided to buy the audiobooks, but I'll post the Amazon links here for others who may have snagged the same ebook deals I did (there will be a yellow bar at the top of the Amazon page if you've already bought the ebooks).

Even though they are sooo cheap, I don't regret the $$ I spent. They are a fantastic series. #4 is $4.95 http://www.audible.com/pd/ref=sr_1_1...7596769&sr=1-1 And if you wait for a surprise sale, you can get #5 Mind Scrambler for $4.95 as well. http://www.audible.com/pd/ref=sa_5?asin=B002V0RBQS Just can't recommend these enough. |

Thanks for the recommendation Wald07. I'll buy the first and give it a listen right away, so I can snap up the others if I like 'em.
