Hi Bearfeet:) Just teasing:) Hi Ray: First: thanks for posting these directions. I'm glad someone knows how to do this. But, frankly, this is the most ridiculous arrangement I've ever seen. By the time I could accomplish all those key strokes, I might be old and gray----er, and had a stroke myself! Is that the best the developers could do with the sample button? I'm really dumbfounded. This isn't an attack on you . But, I can't believe anyone would go through that much hastle to check a sample of a book. We're a pretty resourceful lot. Can anyone come up with a better method for accessing samples of books on Audible? Thanks for reading.:)
