Be sure and backup all of your audiobooks to one or more devices - computer, cloud, SD card, USB stick, hard drive, etc. Audiobooks.com has removed books from customers' accounts. I lost two books from my account; luckily I had them backed up.

This warning also applies to all audiobooks you purchase. Don't trust the company to keep your only copies in their cloud. It's a good way to lose books.

Thanks very much for the information!

As soon as I finish this post, you can bet your sweet patootie that I'm going over to audiobooks.com and backup my one purchase (so far, and it may be for all time with this cockamamie policy in place).

I'm still incensed about losing the ability to download Barnes & Noble's Nook Books that I purchased.

I know what the legal experts in the MobileRead audience are thinking and maybe were planning to say. Save it. I know that legally I don't own the books or audiobooks, as I would a physical book or audiobook. I own the license. A license, not the actual product! Who is the idiot who came up with that?

I had better quit. I'm losing my temper.
