Please help

I'm already a member, although I've never bought anything. The Times instructions say that those already registered should just follw "the link". But to misquote someone quite famous, "I see no link"!

Perhaps the offer has finished.

From the terms and conditions: "2. Free books must be redeemed within 7 days of 12:01am July 16 2005."

I'm certainly no Einstein, but I'm over 50 and have a degree in a foreign language. If I can't work out what to do on a site, it's too vague and I give up.

So I'll forget this one.

Maybe someone who can see the wood for the trees can point us dumbos in the right direction?

signed up. then got confused about what i needed to do.

had a look in my account, and recently ordered books, it says master and commander, cost £0.

went to 'my library'

then clicked on it to start downloading it.

OTH

Oh, thanks!

Well, i tried it. Went to "My Account". Then "Order summary". Selected "Last 7 days" in the drop-down. no joy.

Then went to "My Library" > "Archive". No joy. Then tried clicking on the "New" tab. No joy. Then went to "Heard", and Lo! There was my previous freebie, the interview with David Walliams. (Have I in fact heard it? Nope!)

"If you are a current Audible.co.uk user then simply follow the link to start the free download," it says on The Times page. W-W-A-A-A-A-H-H-H-H!!!!!!

Am I really being dense, or is the site (and/or linking from The Times) just not working properly? Or could it be Firefox?

I'm an existing customer and I can't get the download either.

The Times page links to http://www.audible.co.uk/timesfree, you'll have to login through this page to get the freebies.


Next Saturday - Wuthering Heights.

Aha I've cracked it! As an existing customer I had to log off, then type in the "times free" address, then sign up as a new customer. Seems Audible aren't too keen on letting their current customers get the freebies!
