Audible.co.uk do not, infact, have all of Terry's books in Unabridged format at this time.
I have been trying to get Night Watch,The Wee Free Men and have asked about Terry's latest Book in Unabridged formats and have been basically told various reasons for them not having these which have included the excuses that they may not have the rights for them, a file was corrupt and they may or may not get the rights for Unseen......!
Not happy with them as it was the banner on their site stating they had the full set that got Me to join in the first place..... :x
UK customers get stuffed again!

When you fill in UK in where you live you get automatically forwarded to audible.co.uk.
"Because of regional restrictions, you must make your purchases from and register at the audible.co.uk Web site instead of audible.com."

I thought about lying & saying I'm based elsewhere but that might cause some discrepancies with the bank details.

USB ports are standard worldwide with computers being such wonderful, hateful, sucky things as they are.

Most of the Books are on the UK site ARE in Unabridged format BUT not all.......
Night Watch
The Wee Free Men
Only in Abridged formats......... NO THANKS!
And at the moment Unseen only in Abridged to......... No good.
Sorry but I don't see the point in getting Half a Book...
And Tony Robinson is a terrible reader...
In my opinion...

You are quite right Windle Pons, I have tried to download Maurice and although it is in my Library as Book 1 of 2 of the UNABRIDGED Book it downloads the ABRIDGED version...............
I am getting totally *issed off with the UK site. I have sent them yet another message requesting where the UNABRIDGED version that is said to be in my Library and am awaiting a response.
I also mentioned to them that I am considering contacting the Advertising Standards Agency about their misleading 'Complete Terry Pratchett Collection' banner on their site.
I do not hold out much hope that they will fix problems with site and not much hope they will get the UNABRIDGED Night Watch,Maurice or Wee Free Men (or for that matter Unseen) any time soon.
I will use my Two credits this month then cancel my subs.
Advice to anyone else considering using these people is don't.
Shop around and you could find these titles on the net.

I think audible.co.uk is terrible is this respect.
What possible justification have they for holding release of these unabridged titles?
I really want to purchase a copy of Unseen Academicals (Unabridged) but here in the UK there doesn't seem any way I can nor is there likely to be anytime soon judging by the fact you cant get a lot of his other recent books in unabridged format.
It's totally senseless, I dont see the point of abridged audiobooks.
I will probably go the illegal path & download it on a torrent & so Terry Pratchett, HarperCollins & Audible will all miss out on my custom.
I'm loathe to do this but if I cant purchase it legally?
EDIT
Got it via rapidshare download, sorry Harper audio & Audible but you fucked up!

Good For You!! I am so sorry I could not help, but audio books aren't my gig yet, me eyebulbs will have to get much worse. Heck, now that I have started back therapy and all these other doctors, I feel like I have gone from 0mph to 200mph every fisking day lately, and will be for the next 4 months at least according to the therapist. you have to in order to get any REAL good from it. I want to DANCE again. Shake, Shake, Shake,... Shake, Shake, Shake,.. Shake your Booty, Shake your Booty! :twisted:
It is tempting to use a P2P but I feel it is ripping Terry off, He put in the effort to write the Books so should get the profits from them.
But I can see where you are coming from and I find it annoying that the Audio Book is available else where.
Here for example.
http://www.amazon.com/Unseen-Academical ... 0061868299
Why the delay in the UK?
Just found out the UK release date for the Unabridged version Read by S Briggs is out on Dec 1st.......... nearly 6 Months after the US release!

I've just got a question about audiobooks and I'd be grateful if anyone could answer quickly (it's for a present): Are there any unabridged MP3 downloads for Discworld audiobooks around?
Thing is: I'd like to get an audiobook for a friend of mine and after all the trouble I've had with mine (it took them almost five months to get here) I would be relieved to find a easier (and shorter) way.
I know it's a bit late for this sort of stuff now, since Christmas is two days away, but I've just found out that my friend's a great discworld and audiobook fan (yes, I've found out very early ). It would be the perfect present. (and she doesn't expect it at all. She thinks I'm going to get her a card and a box of chocs )

Cheery yes Isis only do unabridged mp3's but quite expensive.
