Thank you for your post.  Pardon our dust, but we've been working on our ad algorithms behind the scenes and have been playing mostly dummy ads these last few weeks.  Rest assured you still get referral credit once the ads turn back on for every friend you refer.  And in the meantime, hopefully you're addicted to the app of its own merit, as well as our Facebook app at https://apps.facebook.com/audioreader/.  If you're just listening for the money, PM me your address and I'll mail you $20 myself.  :)
