Use code "anastasia" (without the quotation marks) to get a free episode of Dan Dare: The Audio Adventures. The free episode is Dan Dare Voyage to Venus Chapter (Volume) One.

To receive the freebie, navigate to this webpage. You'll see a box labelled "access code" in which to put the code, "anastasia" (without the quotation marks).

From the advertisement for the freebie, I am assuming that this is some kind of science fiction audiobook, but that's about all that I know (if I know that much). People who are "into" this kind of thing, I'm sure, will know from the description that I've given.

A company called Big Finish is the one making this offer.

All you need to do is switch from USA to UK through manage your Kindle on Amazon's site and you will be able to purchase content from either store. As long as you have one email\password combo all the content from both stores should show up on Kindle and Audible apps together.

I don't switch my Kindle account through Manage Your Content and Devices but both Amazon and Audible accounts have the same password and email address. I did switch my kindle country settings on Amazon a few years ago but I no longer do it. I can still get Audible US Whispersync prices for some of my books when my Kindle account is on Amazon UK.

That sounds fine. Just as long as the U.K. doesn't try to make the U.S. a colony of theirs again.

But the British kick the Americans butts at Tea and Mysteries. Plus they have real football.

Let me clarify what I was saying. You can do whispersync titles in either the USA or UK store as long as the title is sold in your home market. If you want to buy titles not in your home market THEN you need to switch your country of residence. There are\were several mystery series that were either delayed to the USA, had a different narrator, or had the English colloquiums changed to American ones that I bought through the UK store.

Okay, you say clarification but now I'm just confused. I've lusted after getting W4V titles on Audible UK for years. I have a US Kindle account. The basic "Dracula" title is the same ASIN in both the Kindle and Kindle UK stores (B0084B5TK8). That means I can get the W4V version of Dracula for free, right? (That's this month's free title, BTW.) Unfortunately. no dice! I've been trying this particular ploy since W4V first went across the pond (they had some great freebies off the jump) but it doesn't work. I'm too chicken to let my library wander overseas because I'm afraid a title might jump off the boat during the journey. Do you mean to say you've found a way to make it work?!?!?

But the Americans kicked British arse at a certain "Tea Party" in Boston Harbor one time.

Which narration?

Since I can't see the Audible side of the deal, I can only assume it is the full cast Audible Studios version. I've seen them offer that several times over there (as well as over here) so that's the first one I checked. I did, however, do a search for all Draculas on Audible UK to see if the W4V price showed up and I never found any.
