Just stumbled across this on the Audible app.

You can 'Send a book' to a friend and they get a free copy (you keep your copy).

The first book you receive is free. Unlike most Audible offers this works for existing users as well as new ones.
Just click on 'Send this book' from the book's menu and it gives you a URL to share. .

Why not share your favourite book in the comments below?.

For example here's best seller Thinking Slow and Fast for free! a.co/0tj…SW4

"Ready Player One" by Ernest Cline link

The movie adaptation directed by Spielberg will be out early next year. Better off waiting for the movie to come out IMO.

I personally prefer watching movie adaptations first before reading the source material.

Here's mine to share the love I've listened to an Audible book you might enjoy. It's totally free, if it's your first time accepting a book from a friend. http://a.co/5azatI3

For those asking how to do it within the app:

Go to your Library
Find the book you want to share
Click the 3 dots on the right
Click "Send this Book" and you'll be offered multiple ways to send
Whichever you choose, it will include a link, the link (will be a.co/********) is for your title

orbiiino to robertrychel

15 Jul 17 #36

Indeed. I don't know if it's because I have Audible beta but the 'send this book' didn't appear until I had received one.

Great spot OP.

15 Jul 17 #49

All, you should be aware that by accepting / sharing a book you are disclosing your real full name (at least the name you registered with Amazon) to random people.

For example, the sender receives

Mike Smith accepted
"Under the Dome"
by Stephen King
Send this book to more people
in your life. Every recipient's
first book is on us.

And the receiver sees at least the senders first name. This combined with comments can tie a user id to a full name.

Perhaps you don't care, and that's fine. Just be aware.

This is true, though I believe there is a checkbox below which you can untick to prevent this.

If you have a membership can you receive more books from friends for free please? Without a membership, you can receive just one - correct? Thanks

orbiiino to Lincoln559

15 Jul 17 #52

Just one book regardless, but you can share the love to as many as you want.

It's quite clever really. As the sender you (typically) have no idea if the receiver had already accepted a book. Instead of displaying an error to the receiver, Audible turns it into a recommendation from the sender. Nice bit of free advertising for negligible outlay.

Amazing post!
I use my Mum's account and I'm sure she won't mind sharing!

She's pretty much got all the Pratchetts, Robin Hobbs, and she's currently going through the Robert Jordans. Let me know if you would like any and I will post the link.

I've got Whiteout and Hornet Flight by Ken Follett and Mastery by Robert Green which was fantastic.
