First of all, apologies if this has been covered elsewhere, but I have only recently embraced the joy of audiobooks.

My wife and I have just bought two Amazon HD6 Fire tablets, to be used for traveling due to their compact size. We have joined Amazon Household which enables us to access each other's books and apps, so far so good.

However it now transpires that you cannot do this with your Audible files if you live in the UK - it is possible in the US!

Now I know there are other ways of sharing Audible books on various tablets by work arounds but not on the Fire tablets. Besides, why should Brits be discriminated against and why should we not be able to do this with the full blessing of Audible? It works for Kindle!

The nice lady at Audible explained all this to me and thanked me for my input.

Just thought this might be a deal breaker for some people.
