Yep, several years ago I listened to "Unbroken" by Laura Hillenbrand when road tripping across the south. It is an entertaining and engaging use of the time.

I will enjoy Pride and Prejudice...plus I adore Kate Beckinsale.

Im German and can easily download them...
Do you also get the Winnie the Pooh one? That's the only one I'm missing and it seems that this one is only available through the US store - so not generally available in Germany.

I hope Apple will soon release a book read by U2 and send it automatically to every device!

But seriously, I love this. I downloaded them all. Great narration. I love audiobooks in general. Audiobooks narrated by top actors are the best.
