Do the instructions I posted last month no longer work?  See this  
archived post:

(Re: Listening to Audible dot com samples)

Audible.com uses flash players for the samples, so the only way I can  
get to the place to "click" to start playing the sample is by turning  
on Mouse Keys under the Universal Access menu and moving my cursor to  
the right of the word "Sample" until a trackpad click starts the  
sample playing.  Depending on the layout of the page you're on, this  
is usually around 50-60 key presses to the right of the "Sample" at  
present (for my MacBook screen).  If the numbers that I gave in the  
archived post aren't working for you, try moving right in groups of 10  
key presses and checking whether a "click" starts/stops the sample  
play.  Once you calibrate this for one page, the same number of key  
presses should work for other similar pages.  However, the exact  
number of key presses may differ when you're examining a page of  
search results compared to the individual page for a particular book,  
where you may find you need to use slightly more key presses to read  
the flash player. Detailed instructions are in the linked archived  
post.  Let us know if the instructions there no longer work.

Cheers,

Esther
