The Guardian (a UK paper), is giving away free audiobooks this week, all by John le Carré, to mark the opening of the "Guardian and Observer books season". So far, three audiobooks have been posted (all three can still be downloaded) and you first enter your name and country, then get a coupon code to use at AudioGo (where accounts are free, just like Audible). Just make sure that you have updated the coupon code and see a zero checkout amount before placing the final order on the AudioGo page and you should not need any payment information entered there. A new audiobook will be added daily and they should all be available Saturday 17th September 2011 to 23.59 on Friday 23rd September 2011 (GMT). The rules do say this offer is only for those in the UK or ROI, but when I entered my country as USA, my information was accepted and I received a code to get the audiobook for free.Here are the books posted so far:
So far, all have been unabridged editions, read by Michael Jayston. I tried to find them at Amazon for the links above, for those that like to read reviews first, but not all were available in the same editions, so I used the Kindle edition for one.
You do have to download a fairly large zip file for each one, but once in your library at AudioGo, you can wait to download them later (as they are going quite slowly today; I wonder why!).
