Free Audiobook - Crush It!

Update: If you have problems getting the free audiobook to show up, as I did, try opening the App, clicking on the Menu button, then on the Shop icon that appears. You should then have a place to click that will add the book to your account. Thanks to whoever answers Audible's twitter feed, for this tip; you would think that they could have made this information known on the product page and to their own and Amazon's tech support (Amazon's support just pushes you to Audible; the Audible people were great, they just added the audiobook to my account, but no one thought to put any notice of how to get the free book anywhere in the download, product page or make it available to the support people).

You can get a free audiobook edition of Crush It!: Why NOW Is the Time to Cash In on Your Passion ($9.99 Kindle), by Gary Vaynerchuk, from Audible and Amazon, by installing the Audible for Android app using the Amazon AppStore and ugprading it to the latest version (1.2.2.2). Note that if you already have this app installed, you will probably want to delete it from the device, then install the one from Amazon. I had problems with mine, just trying to use the Amazon version as the updater, in that the book didn't automatically get added to my Audible account, so I had to contact them for help; they promptly added the book, but it did take longer as a result. This offer ends 4/28, so you have a few days to get it installed (just adding it to your account isn't enough) and log in to your account via the app. It's a fairly short book (3:40), but unabridged.
