Yaah, their ebook stuff doesn't work either. I found that out the hard
way when a friend bought several gft ebooks for me, but amazon 
wouldn't let me claim them. (Luckily she *was* able to get her $$
back.)

One thing I did was to download the list of books that have been
turned into TV shows that Robin posted awhile back and grab
a  bunch of those.  I got ebooks, not audiobooks, but the idea
is the same. I've already read a few.

to one of those audiobooks. :/
