"Among the more notable names: Kurt Vonnegut, Louis L'Amour, Junot Diaz, Alice Munro, and Jonathan Lethem. Oh, there's also this guy Mark Twain, who provides the collection's only full-length novel: "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer."

To get the freebies, just add one or more of them to your shopping cart. (Although they're priced at a penny apiece, your cart will show a $0 balance.) Even though no money's changing hands, you'll need to create a Barnes & Noble account and supply a credit card. (If you'd rather not, choose PayPal as your payment method—even if you don't have an account.)

You'll also need to download and install B&N's OverDrive Media Console software, which manages your audiobooks and lets you play, burn, transfer, etc. It's available for Windows and Mac.

In the interim, you'll receive an e-mail with a link that takes you to the download page. So, yeah, you have to jump through some hoops to get your audiobooks—but such is the price of free, right?"

    Great, thanks - great to have something different to listen to on the drive to/from work.

    You need to enter a US address, but if you select PayPal payment (you don't have to give Paypal account details) the address doesn't need to be verified against a credit card address, and since you're not paying anything it doesn't matter.

    Just give any number in the thousands on Main Street in any US City. Make sure the zip code is correct for the city. I used Tallahassee, FL 32301, as suggested by the instructions for obtaining a US iTunes account here: http://forums.mactalk.com.au/18/39050-how-get-us-itunes-acco…

    Whenever I need to supply a US Zipcode:

    Beverly Hills, 90210.
