If you like audiobooks, Barnes & Noble is allowing free downloads of up to nine short story audiobooks until May 15 (okay, it’s really “May 16, 2009 at 2:59 a.m. Eastern Time” if you want the exact cut off time). The free books are:
- The Babysitter’s Code by Laura Lipman
- Super Goat Man by Jonathan Lethem
- Best New Horror by Joe Hill
- Great Day by Kurt Vonnegut
- Fathers by Alice Munro
- Truth or Dare by Elizabeth Berg
- Yarael by Junot Diaz
- Merrano of the Dry Country by Louis L’Amour
- The Adventures of Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain
There is a little bit of fine print to this offer:
- Prices will appear as $0.01 but you won’t be charged.
- You must have a valid credit card on file with bn.com or enter one during checkout (you will not be charged — I believe they might take PayPal but I don’t know for sure).
You can download the free audiobooks on this page.
It also requires installing the Overdrive Media Console.
Good to know, thanks. I haven’t check these out myself since it’s an American site.
