Yeah that happened, much to my concern, a few years ago now (I think it was a good 3-yrs ago but who knows ???
).
If you have multiple Audible accounts don't get bitten by a very hidden bit of Apple iTunes subterfuge. You can have Audible content from ONLY two Audible accounts at any given time. Many people have multiple accounts in a household for a variety of reasons. But sharing audiobooks has long been a normal thing for me and mine. Until I was trying out that iPod Touch and I discovered the limit. So for me it was a turn of the coffin screw for me and iOS/ We have 5 or 6 Audible accounts, honestly I don't remember. But we need at minimum 4 of them. With those restrictions it's impossible to carry everyone's books on a single device for trips or whatever reason. So instead I am back to use the very old Creative Zen Xtra Jukebox device I upgraded from 30gb to 100gb. It's a good 7yrs old now, and it was a refurb/return at Best Buy when I bought it to begin with. But for me it does not have that iTunes imposed 2-Audible account limitation.
Basically what happens in iTunes is you can add content from an account beyond two but all of the content form one account has to be deleted first. So it's a case of constantly chasing your own tail just to listen to books you legitimately paid for is you go iOS as your only Audible compatible device. Gotta love those Apple policies!!
