What do I do with finished Audible Books?

Answered by Ricardo McCardle

When you finish an audiobook on Audible, there are a few options for what you can do with it. First and foremost, even though you have finished listening to the book, it will remain in your Audible Library. This means that you can access it at any time in the future if you want to listen to it again or refer back to certain sections.

If you no longer want the audiobook to take up space on your device, you can remove it from that specific device. This can be useful if you have limited storage space and want to free up room for new audiobooks. To remove an audiobook from a device, you can simply delete the downloaded file from your device’s storage. However, keep in mind that even if you remove the audiobook from a specific device, it will still be available in your Audible Library for future access.

It’s important to note that removing an audiobook from a device does not delete it from your Audible Library. The audiobook will still be associated with your account and can be accessed on any device that you use for listening. This is one of the great features of Audible – your purchased titles are always available to you, even if you switch devices or upgrade your device.

In addition to keeping your finished audiobooks in your Audible Library, you also have the option to rate and review them. This can be helpful for other Audible users who are considering listening to the same book. By sharing your thoughts and opinions, you can help guide others in their audiobook choices. It’s also a great way to reflect on your own experience with the book and share any insights or takeaways you may have gained.

If you decide that you no longer want to keep a certain audiobook in your Audible Library, you do have the option to permanently delete it. However, this should be done with caution, as once an audiobook is deleted, it cannot be recovered. If you are certain that you no longer want the audiobook and are okay with losing access to it in the future, you can contact Audible customer support for assistance with permanently deleting it from your account.

Lastly, if you choose to cancel your Audible membership, your account will still remain active. This means that any audiobooks you have purchased with a credit or credit card will always be accessible on any device that you use for listening. You won’t lose access to your purchased titles even if you cancel your membership.

When you finish an Audible audiobook, you have the option to keep it in your Audible Library for future access, remove it from a specific device to free up storage space, rate and review the book, or permanently delete it if you no longer want it in your library. Additionally, even if you cancel your Audible membership, your purchased titles will still be accessible on any device you use for listening.
