Here’s a promotion that, if you’ve got a Mac or Windows machine, and are in the mood to jump through a couple of hoops, you’re sure to appreciate. And, you can start at it right now.
Starting today there are two FREE MP3 audiobooks available, per week, throughout the summer. This comes courtesy of a new website called AudiobookSync.com.
To get the audiobooks you must download the “Overdrive Media Console.” Then you’ll have to give your name and an email address. It’s a bit of a muddle on the site itself, but after clicking around for five minutes or so I think I’ve got the process completely streamlined in my notes below.
First, if you don’t have it already, you’ll need to download the OverDrive Media Console

Windows |HERE|
After it is installed you’ll need to go to the…
First Download page |HERE| to fill in your details
and then, after that’s started, go to the…
Second Download page |HERE| and repeat the process.
Be sure to take careful note where the files are set to download to. Mine defaulted to a folder called:
