r/audible

I purchased the Audiobook "How to stop worrying and start living" from Dale Carnegie in 2018 via Audible. Now they have replaced the version of the Audiobook I bought with a newer version with a new narrator (Robert Petkoff), which sounds very odd and lacks character. Also partially the content is different.

Audible changed the version without my knowledge! I purchased the audiobook in that particular version, but they took it away from me.

How can I get the old version back that was narrated by Andrew Macmillian?

Not sure your approach but I buy a book without listening to the narrator.

There may be no better feeling in life than starting a book and *then* realizing it’s a favorite narrator!

I've searched but not seeing an answer, am I missing it or is it just not an option?

I want to delete lists I don't want or use that audible pre-created. I only see a hide option.

I just renewed my audible subscription after a fairly long hiatus and noticed they have changed the way they do their monthly credits. You now have to use the credit each month or you lose it. I seem to remember them rolling over before and you could use them whenever you felt like it..

I've also noticed the language for the monthly book credit has changed so that it says you can listen to your selected titles as long as you're a member... does that mean that if I cancel my monthly subscription, I lose all the books Ive bought with the monthly purchases?

I appreciate any help you can provide!

Edit: I contacted audible and they were able to change it from the standard subscription to the premium plus. Thanks for the help everyone!

I’m new to audio books so maybe it’s common and I just haven’t come across it yet. So far every audio book duet I’ve listened to the man reads all the lines for men even if the chapter isn’t in his pov and vice versa. It’s a great listen but takes me out of the story so much. Anyone know why they chose to do it like this?

I know the most important thing is for us to spend more money and ask less questions. But, in your opinion what’s the reason Audible still decides, probably on purpose, not to add a simple audio booster to their app? You might say it’s not their highest priority but even after more than a decade of this app they still didn’t do it. It is such a simple feature..

Edit: Sorry I meant Volume booster.

I have accrued some credits & am looking for a series. Ideally more than three books, fewer than seven.

Detective/PI, etc are always a favorite.

Not a requirement, but it'd be great if the author wasn't a straight white American man.

Some that I've found at least somewhat interesting:

Louise Penny- Armand Gamache novels

Adrian McKinty- Sean Duffy novels

Jo Nesbo- Harry Hole series

Anne Rice- Lestat

Elizabeth Hand- Cass Neary series

I haven't given sci-fi or fantasy (except the Song of Fire & Ice series) much of a chance.

Thanks!

Has won me over. Does anyone have any hunches about the next time they might go on sale/ cheapest way to buy the set?

Here are my options, feel free to suggest your own:

- The 7 1/2 Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle
- The Great Alone
- Dungeon Crawler Carl (a little scared to start this one because I’m worried I’ll want someone to talk to about it and no one else around me is reading it)
- Never Let Me Go
- Recursion
- Maid (I saw the tv show so I don’t know if the book is different enough to be worth it)

Some recent books I have loved:
- Rebecca
- Project Hail Mary
- Tomorrow, Tomorrow, and Tomorrow
- There is No Anti-Memetics Division
- Educated

Surprising dislikes:
- Remarkably Bright Creatures
- Looking for Alaska
- Yellowface
- Where the Crawdads Sing

Anyone else seeing site-wide sale prices on the US site?

Hello! I am looking for the series Twilight of Empire by Ian Ross, narrated by Jonathan Keeble, but I can’t find it anywhere. I live in the US and pay using a US billing address. I’m not entirely sure what I should do. Any help would be great!

For me, it's 1.5. I peaked at 2x but then I realized it was stressing me out, and I'm focusing on my heart health these days.

How about you?

People always talk about books they liked. And I guess technically a book can piss you off and you can still like it, but that’s besides the point.

What book have you listened to that pissed you off? What happened that pissed you off?

(Don’t forget spoiler warnings) I don’t care, but others really do.

I am not sure why but my Audible App keeps crashing. My IOS is updated. I have reset and restarted my phone. I have deleted the app and reinstalled and cleared cache. I am can't see my audiobooks and then the app crashes. Called customer service and they said basically they can't help beyond the steps I have already done!!!!

Anyone else have this happening?

I bought the 3-credit pack since it was $12.99 a credit this morning. The books i wanted were both priced around $15 and when I go back into the app the books are now $6. I feel scammed :,)
