Shameless plug for Audible.com

Listening to audio-books while traveling has been a good way to help pass the time over the years. With the acquisition of my iPod I've realized that audio-books are great for other times, as well. I listen while sewing, ironing, exercising and even sometimes when trying to get to sleep. The kids like listening when they aren't feeling well, or while doing crafts.

For the last year or so I've been a member of Audible's Premium Listener program. For $20 a month I get two audio-books. Since most audio-books aren't inexpensive, I've always gotten much more than the membership cost worth of books each month. Plus I've added to my book collection! I've listened to: The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy; The Screwtape Letters; The DaVinci Code; The Last Continent; How the Irish Saved Civilization; The Secret Life of Bees; The Callahan Chronicles; Meditation for Christians; Snow Crash; Angels and Demons; I, Robot; Princes of Ireland ; Split Second; and am currently listening to All God's Children and Blue Suede Shoes; Tanequil; The Message and Knowing God.

So, all that said, if Audible looks interesting to you, and you check it out and decide to register or join the Premium Listener program, if you "mention my name" while registering, I can get a chance to win an iPod mini, a Audible gift certificate or free audio programs. Now, normally I don't do this sort of shameless plug thing, but the combination of the lure of an iPod and books was just too much for me.

I mean! C.S. Lewis read by John Cleese no less!

And if you give me money, I'll register and mention you. ^_^

I don't think you need money to register, darling.

Really? Hm...

But, we do need to know what your user name is on Audible to mention you referred us. BTW, when I signed up today, I put jlkramar in as the person who referred me, but I didn't know if that was right. I would have asked if I had known you could win an iPod mini!

I don't think you need to know my user name. I think you just need to know my name, which I'm pretty sure you know. :-)

I just looked on Audible and it says I've got two entries, so jlkramar must've worked.

This link might work to get you to the information. When I click it the page loads but tells me I'm not eligible! (I sent myself the "try audible" letter they will send and this link was in there as the way to get to the offer. Maybe it tells them who referred you as well. Don't know.)

Well, it said something like "If you were referred by a friend, enter their user name here." I almost didn't fill it out, because I wasn't sure what your user name was. In fact, the first time I signed up I hadn't put anything down, but my entry was rejected for some reason. I had to correct whatever the problem was, and it was only on the second entry that I decided to add your name. I assumed by "user name" they meant the name you use to log in, not your name. l guess I have a couple of aunts that could in theory be audible members with your same name, but not user name. And, I wondered if your user name might be something like "Bibliophilist." :-) Oh well, glad you credit for it.
