The Power Trip by Jackie Collins
American Sniper by Chris Kyle
The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald, narrated by Jake Gyllenhaal

Second, you have to have a Windows 8 machine or a Windows phone. Third (and this one is the killer), you have to be signing up for Audible for the first time. (No, this is not the usual trial membership. No credit card information is required.) Details can be found here. If someone has Windows 8 and hasn't bothered to install Audible but has an account, I'd love to hear the results if you tried this. There's a chance it'll work despite the restriction, but I'm skeptical. If it does work for you I might have to borrow a friend's machine.

Enjoy!

Skinmaan reminded me that I never followed up on this. I was out of town on business for a week after posting this... I DID try when I got back, but forgot to post. I clicked on the link and went through the motions, but the only option to get it seems to be to create a new account.
