kindle fire advice needed - maddog04 - 17-01-17
Mrs maddog wants to listen to audio books on the kindle (fire). I'm a pooter fuckwit and can't do foc all so can the foccer font of knowledge advise me how to download "free" audio books to the kindle?
ATM (at the mo......not porn you dirty gits :lol) I'm logging in to the wife's amazon account and looking but after searching free audio, it then offers a free book but you have to pay to be able to listen......flies in the face of what I'm trying to achieve.
or is there another way of downloading free audio books to the kindle
but remember I'm shit at all this malarkey so keep it simpleBefore you lot start........I cannot and will not sit on the edge of the bed and say......Once upon a time :lol
cheers everyone

Hi maddog ,
I listen to a lot of audiobooks and have an audible account , there are some free audiobooks ( google free audiobooks ) but there free mostly cos they're crap narrators or crap books, but you should be able to download them and play them through the media player on the kindle fire the same as music as they generally come in MP3 or similar format.
You can join audible get the free book then cancel membership ( you keep the book but listen through the audible app ) then join in another name get another free book and cancel then join again in another name and email address and /or use a different payment card to the others and another free audiobook.
Another way to get some extra if you do join (7.99 a month for 1 book ) use your monthly credit get a book , listen to it then go back on audible website and click return book and you get your credit back to get a new book as they have a good listen guarantee and can do anytime up to a year after getting the book so if you do it every other month then you get a few extra audiobooks for no extra .
Sorry it was a long reply and hope it helps

Thanks Graham, I looked at the audio service but all the people on amazon state 7.99 pm is robbery especially as amazon offer it cheaper in other countries. The idea of joining/cancelling or returning doesn't appeal as I can't be arsed setting up various accounts especially as they transfer straight to the wife's kindle by magic and I can't change that
Re: kindle fire advice needed - Graham53 - 18-01-17
No worries maddog , you could try googling free audiobooks and give one a try , I think a lot of them are by unknown authors and narrators, I sort of agree about the price but if you look at the price of audiobooks on cd or iTunes then it's not bad , I remember paying about £ 60 for a Harry Potter audiobook on cd years ago but then it had 9 discs !! Or something daft like that.

Re: kindle fire advice needed - maddog04 - 18-01-17
BB, she's had a stroke and lost the use of one arm. The audio's are for when she's in bed so she can just listen, if I told her to do what you say I'd get twatted with the good arm :lol

Apologies, I forgot about the health problems you mentioned before. That said, thumping you may be good therapy for her :pokefun
Re: kindle fire advice needed - maddog04 - 18-01-17

See if your local library is associated with BorrowBox or OneClickdigital
There's are good free services
