One of the reasons most readers will not try
audiobooks is that it seems a lot of trouble to set up. Those who take the trouble, quickly fall in love with them.
The main company offering audiobooks is Audible, and
through them, Amazon. To download the book, even if it
is FREE, you need to have an audible account.
When you navigate to audible.com, you are
met with the “First Month FREE, but $14.95 after first month” advert. Anyone
who wants to redeem a free code and test the audiobook waters, is forced to
open an account.
Most people are leery of opening new accounts. Many have
had experiences where companies make it very difficult to close memberships.
Some keep charging for months after the membership is closed, and you have to
jump over hoops to get your money back.
Audible is owned by Amazon, and they are very good with
customer relations. You will have no problem closing your account. You might
love the perks that come with the $14.95 monthly fee and decide to keep it.
GO AHEAD. OPEN THE ACCOUNT. IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO PAY
$14.95 A MONTH, BE VERY SURE TO CANCEL BEFORE THE MONTH IS OUT.
If you forget to cancel,
you will be charged. NOTE: You will need to
provide a Credit Card or a VISA Logo check card. If you close the account before the month is
out, you will not be charged.
If you cancel, the following will happen:
***Your books will remain in your library to be
used at
will.
***You may still buy audiobooks, but they will
not
be discounted.
***You will not get additional monthly credits,
but you
can still redeem any gift codes that
authors
give you. Spend your credits before
quitting!
***You get to keep the book you got with your
Free
Month’s credit.
Now you have an Audible account. If the author gives you a Gift Code, you must redeem it for a book. A Gift Code is not a book, but it is a credit to buy a book.
I will always gift the audiobook itself, not the code. You'll get a notice sent to your email that you've been gifted an audiobook. You must now download it.
You must sign into your Audible Account and go to
Listening APPS. The following apps are available for the following devices. You
may install one on your phone, one on your tablet, one on your desktop, or even
one on your MP3 player.
iPhone, Android Phone, Windows Phone
Kindle Touch, Fire Tablet, Amazon Echo
Android Tablet, iPad, iPad Touch
Windows Tablet
Your PC or laptop
iTunes, MP3 Player
Once you have the proper app installed in your listening
device, now you can open the app, sign in, and access your book!
It is really easier than it sounds.
1. Open Account.
Get your gifted book. If the gift was for a
Gift Code, then you must redeem the code first.
Gift Code, then you must redeem the code first.
2. Download the
proper App for your device.
3. Access your Free
book and listen!
Now, you can search for Free author Gift Codes for
more free books.
If you wish to try the audiobook route, I have Gift Codes
for both Strongheart’s Woman and Daniel’s Fork, but I will redeem the code myself and gift the audiobook directly to you. Please, open your account
and download your app first.
I will gladly gift you an audiobook if you write a short honest review for it after listening to it. I NO LONGER GIVE OUT THE CODES. I redeem the codes and gift the actual book.
Email me at zeecelugo@gmail.com and give me an email where I can send the audiobook gift. It may not be a kindle address. It must be your personal email address.
