YES YOU HAVE TO SIGN UP FOR 12 MONTHS TO QUALIFY FOR THE FREE SHUFFLE. IF
YOU SIGN UP FOR THE 9.99 PLAN YOU GET A 512MB SHUFFLE NORMALLY COSTING
AROUND £45, IF YOU SIGN UP FOR THE £14.99 PACKAGE YOU GET A 1GB SHUFFLE
NORMALLY COSTING £69.
FOR £9.99 A MONTH YOU GET ONE BOOK AND ONE SUBSCRIPTION A MONTH.
FOR £14.99 YOU GET 2 BOOKS A MONTH.
THEY HAVE ALSO JUST LAUNCHED A NEW PRICE PLAN, FOR £7.99 A MONTH YOU get one
book a month - no shuffle available with this last subscription rate which
is the one I've just signed up for.
There is a long list of players you can use to play the audible content but
the shuffle is among the most accessible of the mainstream off the shelf
products, paqmate, bookport et al are also in that list.
not sure about the limitation of how many players you can use I thought I'd
read this some where a while ago but then having jsut signed up I know that
you can transfer content to the shuffle using Itunes once it's downloaded
with the audible manager ap so not sure how this restriction culd be
policed.

I wonder if, please, someone would mind clarifying the some questions I have about Audible?
1. Audible is still offering the Ipod Shuffle as a 'give away'. Is this though tied to a commitment to take out a subscription? If so, for what period?
2. What players are people using to play these books? I understand a proprietory codec or system is used to play and transfer these files. I understand you may be able to transfer your Audible books to two or three devices. Is this true?
Thanks for any answers to these questions.
