    BigDonut, thank you...

    I tried everything to get that one never would have guessed the word was "new".

    New Update:

    www.audible.co.uk/timesdownload Artemis Fowl: The Arctic Incident
    www.audible.co.uk/timesbook Pride and Prejudice
    www.audible.co.uk/timesoffer The Rotters' Club
    www.audible.co.uk/timesfree Oliver Twist

    www.audible.co.uk/timesnew Great Expectations

    Has anyone else downloaded free books from this site via timesonline not listed above? audible.co.uk appear to keep the link active therfore putting the link www.audible.co.uk/times into your address bar should reviel the rest of the link (download, book, free, offer new etc).

    In my case when I paste www.audible.co.uk/times into my adress bar I get all 5 dwnloads listed.

    Step 1 sign up here:

    A roundup of last nights work with the direct links
    http://www.audible.co.uk/stuff

    This gets you three books, then while signed into audible.co.uk click on the links below for the further titles:

    Tried that, but it's charging me £6.95 each for 2 of them and full price for the third? Also tried http://www.audible.co.uk/cdwow (also offers 3 free) with the same result.

    edit: it's working now - you have to 'complete purchase ' on the free trial (even though it's free, then add books to basket then complete purchase again.

    I already have an account with Audible. Received an e-mail from cd-wow offering me three free downloads from Audible. But when I click on the e-mail links to get to the Audible site, I keep ending up with my Audible log-in screen and see no way of getting these three extra downloads for free.

    Does anyone know better? Or am I simply not entitled to these because I am already a member?

    Set up a new account.

    Click the logout button on Audible then click the CD-wow link back into Audible. Now you can set up a new account to get the free books.

    Thanks Tony & BigDonut!!

    I'm delighted as I am currently downloading all the books mentioned except for Oliver Twist. No matter which link I click I can't seem to get it - when I click the link you've listed it brings me to Pride & Prejudice?

    Any ideas what I can do or am I just too late?

    Once the week is over they appear to change the links most of the books listed should have been something esle at the start i think after Sunday Pride & Prejudice will point to a different book. Not much we can do about it but with a bit of luck if they keep changing the link we might get a few extra book if we keep checking

    You can get text and audio books of most of Dickins' works, as well as loads of other public domain works at Project Gutenberg.

    You dont need to sign up for a plan to get these books, I'm sure nobody would have done that.
