I hope that I can remember, the next time that I try, what I did, or am able to duplicate it. Or, better yet, maybe the issue won't show up again.  IMHO, that procedure is really an asinine way of doing things. When I get the Android phone problem fixed, I'll try the sideloading/transferring thing. |

ETA: This is the message you get if you have a credit and are signed in:
You can pick Back to Browsing or Continue - the latter purchases the book and the sample keeps playing.
Another tip - if you don't want to listen to the sample, but do wish to purchase, move the sample's time bar over to nearly the end and listen to the last few seconds, then the message above will display.
Also, from your library, you can listen on the web. I just continued the Asimov Foundation Trilogy, which picked up at 3:02, which was how long I had to listen before adding to my library.
I did download their app, somewhere (maybe on the ipad?) just to get a free audiobook a while back. I don't use it other than to download the MP3 and back up locally or to move to my small MP3 player to listen in the car.

As you can see in the quote from my post (#1209), I got it to work.
Thanks for your additional information.
