Iain - If I hit enter on the word Sample, nothing happens, the screen doesn't 
change in any way, so clearly a different experience to the one you are having -

  As I have said before, you press ENTER on the button which JAWS reads as 
“unlabelled 2”. If you arrow down, JAWS will say
  sample
  Flash start
  unlabelled 2
  This is where you press ENTER. It really does work.

  Hi Ibrahim -

  I've already written to Audible, at least they now have a very strait forward 
way to email them.

  I've got flash on here,, but it isn't working on that Sample flash button on 
their website. You said to check if it were properly installed, how would I do 
this please? -

    Hi.

    I’m not a fan of the new audible site either to be honest, but needs must 
if we are to continue to access the latest audio books as they hit the shelves, 
not when RNIB decide to publish them if they do at all that is.

    Right, the sample button is now a flash object, so to interact with it, 
find the sample button below the book you want to hear the sample for and hit 
the enter or space key.  That should play the sample and if it doesn’t, you 
need to check that you have flash properly installed and working on your 
machine.

    All the best, Ibrahim.

    Yes, I discovered this today too. They've revamped the website, and now all 
JFW sees is the word sample, but doesn't see it as a link. The American site 
had this as an issue a few years ago, I'm both surprised and disappointed that 
the UK site has gone the same way. I haven't got an answer for getting round it.

    I think it very important that we contact them to get this put right as 
quickly as possible -

      Hi all

      I can not get the sample for any book to play on the audible.co.uk site. 
Is anyone else having  a problem?

      Kind regards

      Andrew
