There is a prominent "Play Now" option on the product page for an audiobook that I'm interested in. However, it only plays a sample. If I click on the "Download" button, I've got to choose to download the Apple or Android app. Maybe if I actually installed one of the apps (remember: I can't do that right now), then it would let me also stream it. Oh, Audiobooks' limited help file (just some FAQs, with answers, so far as I can tell) doesn't say anything about it.

#2--Again, I can't do that right now.

#3--I don't quite understand how to do it. Can you elaborate? If it is going to require me using my Android device, that might be okay, but, again, I can't install anything else because my on-board memory is all being used and the phone won't use (I may have said "recognize," earlier, but that is not correct) the memory of a memory card that I installed in it.
RE: #1--I'm really sorry #1 seems to require you to already have the audiobook downloaded to an app! I mistakenly thought this would solve the problem.

RE: #2--Yes, I get that. Naughty misbehaving Android device! Any chance you could borrow a NOOK from your public library or buy a cheapo Android device (like one of these), to use 'til you repair or replace your preferred device?

RE: #3--This option relies on your having downloaded the mp3 files to the Audiobooks.com app, so you could then copy them to your computer or some storage medium. (I called this mobile device-to-computer copying "reverse sideloading", because the term "sideloading" often refers to computer-to-mobile device copying.) However - regretfully - if #2 doesn't work, then #3 won't, either.
