    Default sign up to a usa site (audible.com) in the uk?

    Guys

    Just been looking for an audio book. found it on audible.com, went to sign up, $7.99 a month (not too bad I thought) then got redirected to the .co.uk site which is £7.99 a month (both trial prices), bit of a piss take!

    On top of that, looked again and realised the UK site doesn't even have the book I want and seems to have a much smaller selection! What a piss take.

    So the question is, is there any clever way I can sign up to the site from the UK? (credit card payment required)?

    FYI the book is david allen making it all work is anyone can find a better source?!

    cheers

    Yeah, use an American proxy.

    Have a look at a program called Proxy Switcher.
    www.proxyswitcher.com/download.html

    It'll automatically download a list of proxies from the proxy websites and then test them for you to see which are working. Then simply connect to one of the working US ones and jobs a good 'un.

    Why is my text green? lol

    Get the proxy bit thanks, what I'm wondering is if my credit card will need an address. Oh well will give it a go and report back
