ariasmommy Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 This is wonderful! Dickens narrated by Simon Vance, David Suchet reading an Agatha Christie mystery, Anne Hathaway narrating The Wonderful Wizard of Oz... Of course I'm kicking myself for buying Huckleberry Finn the other week, even if it was on sale.:tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mama25angels Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Go to your apps and look for the Audible app (it should be pre-loaded). You can find all the audiobooks there. I had to watch the how-to video on Audible's site to figure it out :) Thank you for your help! I found the video at the website and was able to download my books!!!

yvonne Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 (edited) Ondreeuh, "After you purchase the ebook, there is a link on the side that takes you to the matching audible audiobook." I "bought" the ebook & it downloaded to my iCloud reader, but I don't see any link to the matching audiobook. I looked at my order receipt, I couldn't find a link there either. eta: Found it! Went to audible.com, searched for the title of the ebook I'd bought, and the audiobook was listed as free on audible, so I downloaded it there. Thanks for posting this!

d.g. Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 There's no free Jane Erye, right? Just a reduced price? I purchased the exact version of Jane Eyre linked above. Then I went to audible and searched separately for Jane Eyre. Jane Eyre [brilliance Edition] was free for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paysensmom Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 I got the free books and audio downloaded.

crazyforlatin Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Not sure if this will help you, but I downloaded the audible iPhone/ipod app on my iPad. That's what I did to listen on the iPad. Surprisingly, audible hasn't released an iPad version, but the iPhone app works. Was there a question about downloading to the PC? If you go to your audible account, press download, and audible will lead you through the steps of downloading their software, which is required for downloading directly to iTunes. ETA: To the pp, we can't listen on the iPad without that audible app. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ssirisha Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 I used up my kindle storage. All my audio books show up in the "Manage your kindle"..Is there a way to download these files somewhere else other than my kindle (as there's no space) . When I choose a particular audio book, click "actions" --> "deliver to" --> only my personal kindle shows up.. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeking Squirrels Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Thank you so much! I'm so excited for these! DD has recently started really enjoying listening to audio books. We've played them before and she's just "eh", but we just finished The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe and she asked for it every day at lunch. Personally I can't wait for the ones read by Jim Dale, he's my favorite :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 I did not read the entire thread but to those wondering (in case this has not been answered) you can download on your computer also.

Thank you Hunter for this :) and a special thanks to my buddy who saw this thread and pointed it out :D. I am not on here very much these days and would most definitely have missed it otherwise.

Annie Laurie Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 The ebook can just be a gateway to the free audiobook. You can sign up for Kindle via PC on Amazon (enables you to read Kindle books on your PC) or have Kindle books sent to an android phone, iphone, ipad, etc. Once you have a Kindle account set up, you can purchase the Kindle book on Amazon. By purchasing the ebook (even if it's $0.00) you are entitled to a free audible version of the books that are included in this offer. After you purchase the ebook, there is a link on the side that takes you to the matching audible audiobook. You need an audible account linked up to your Amazon account [Audible is now an Amazon company]. The audible audiobook should show up as free in your cart when you follow the link if you are logged in. Once you have "purchased" the free audiobook, there are a few options for how to use it. I just have audible automatically send it to iTunes. Once it's in iTunes, I can burn it to a disc or transfer to an iPod/iPhone or iPad. I use the Bookmark app but Audible has its own app too. You OWN the audiobook and never have to use the ebook version if you don't want to. Thank you! Your directions were really helpful. Question, for you or anyone else who might know: I followed your directions and got the Kindle app for my Mac and then sent the audible file to itunes. We're planning on getting our kids Kindles for Christmas. Will we be able to transfer the audio books and ebooks to their Kindles later? Or only to Apple products?

We're planning on getting our kids Kindles for Christmas. Will we be able to transfer the audio books and ebooks to their Kindles later? Or only to Apple products? Any device with an audible app on it, can download the books over and over and over again, as long as you sign into your account with your password. If your hard drive is full you can delete books, and then re-download them later. Amazon and audible are for old people and dummies. I never buy from Apple anymore. No worries. A&A babysit me. Everytime I break/lose a computer/device, I just download the apps and re-download all my stuff, AGAIN. 4evercanucks, Carson-Dellosa's new prices ROCK! The $1.99 sentence diagramming workbook is a must have for early sentence composition models. Edited September 13, 2012 by Hunter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The $1.99 sentence diagramming workbook is a must have for early sentence composition models. I have that in my wishlist. We recently purchased and are currently working on the Spotlight on Reading books. Have you seen those? I have quite a few I want to get for my little guy too. Did you download the Learning Spot Library? I did yesterday and ended up with a free interactive book. I chose the grade 3 book on the Human Body. PM me if you want the e-mail and I can send it to you. I should have your e-mail address somewhere :). You should be able to find the offer in their website also. ETA: It is actually an interactive unit, I got free (curriculum). Edited September 13, 2012 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
