As I routinely delete Audible's aa and aax files from my hard drive once I read a book, if I had relied on Audible's cloud, I'd apparently be out of luck. Happily, I convert and save the mp3 files.
This is why I don't trust the cloud.

Ray Bradbury's
Dandelion Wine disappeared from Audible for me. I had listened to it, so not the end of the world, but....
And, thank you. This is my wake-up call to download the Aubrey/Maturin books I bought from Downpour, since the rights have been withdrawn from the Simon Vance version. And I have no excuses at all, since they're DRM-free.
