    I just logged out to check out the link I posted. It apppears you MUST BE A MEMBER to see the special prices (non members will see $7.49 sign up offer price). You can still view titles using the link.

    Someone might need to sign up as a member to test this out. Please post results.

    OK - thanks for the help. I changed the original post to clarify that you need to be a paid subscriber to get this deal. Since the net extra cost of becoming a subscriber is only $2.49 (see my comment below), I still think this is a very good deal for people thinking about signing up.

    $7.49 is for the first three books (each) if you join up. Sign up with a paid membership may or may not be needed to take advantage of this offer. As I said, this part I am not clear about.

    At the bare minimum you can do as follows:

    1. Sign up with a monthly membership and purchase ANY book with your first credit.
    2. Take advantage of the $5 book offer to buy as many of these 'special' books as you like. (Note: I'm a subscriber but still bought 5 of these books on special).
    3. Download the software and titles to your phone.
    4. Cancel your subscription.

    Net cost for membership: $2.49 (i.e. extra cost for the 'subscription' less the cost of the included book at the special price).

      Note when you purchase the $5 books and then go to your libary to downlod them they often spring up a surprise further sale window with a dozen or more cheap titles to choose from.

      Canceling is easy there's a button in your account to do so and when you do they often pop up a window offering you cheaper memberships to get you to stay

      The Audible Iphone software is really good :)

        Agree. I've tried audio books as regular mp3 using music software on my phone - problem is you can easily loose your place. The Audible sofware is easy to use, tracks where you are up to across all your library titles.

  I'm a member but no longer a subscriber and the $4.95 books show up for me (I already brought what I wanted last week).
  I joined Audible a couple of months ago through Amazon first month free and then free to cancel subscription after that. Not sure if the Amazon offer is still available as they know I am a member so they stop showing me the banners, Just go to amazon then Audiobooks and look to see if there are any special offer banners with audible on top of the page.

  Also if you like audio books there are some free ones available from The Guardian I posted this on Whirl earlier

  So I have seen audiobooks mentioned a few times in this thread so I figure this is as good a place as any to >post this, The Guardian have partnered with AudioGO to give away Unabridged John Le Carre books narated by >Michael Jayston.

  http://www.guardian.co.uk/books/series/books-season+series/j…

  I had no problem getting them even though I specified that I was from Australia, just follow the instructions >on the Guardian site create your audiogo account and voila free audiobooks :)

  I used to subscribe but I had such a backlog of books to listen to (their sales are hard to resist) that I cancelled my membership. Luckily they allowed me to stay a member for three months without accruing credits but it still gave me access to this sale, $5 per book, bargain!

  EDIT: Forgot to add, a lot of the books available are region locked so we can't buy them in Australia. iIf you set up your address in your Billing Details section with a US address (it doesn't have to match your credit card address, I like Beverly Hills as the Suburb, 90210 is the postcodde :) you will be a lot more books available and in some cases the prices are even different (sometimes higher than Aus but mostly lower). If you are going to buy a book rather than use credits, it could pay to change your address and check the price in both regions, you pay in $US no matter what anyway. I didn't look closely but for this for this sale I don't think it matters which region you are from.

    Thanks for the tip! Would you still be able to download them on your app (android, ipod, etc) though if it's not in the Australia region?
