    It’s a won­der­ful news to know Apple Com­pa­ny shares a free audio­book. Most of the Books are quite well known, users of ios will be glad to down­load it to there app store. I already grab my copy and start­ed lis­ten­ing to Pride and Prej­u­dice, nar­rat­ed by Kate Beck­in­sale and the sto­ry was amaz­ing! I’m excit­ed to try out the oth­er free audio­books.

    I did­n’t like it. I nev­er heard a word of any of the 6 Jane Austin books adver­tised for free. I have messed with this web site for half an hour and noth­ing — going in cir­cles. Sur­pris­ing­ly, it did­n’t offer to let me pay, it was a small pre­view with no link to the goods.

    Bril­liant — would nev­er have realised these were free on ITunes.
    Just down­loaded 4 of the 6. Thanks!

    (not sure what guy above is talk­ing about, no has­sle what­so­ev­er…)
