I spent a lot of time this weekend catching up on downloading my titles to Audible Manager that I didn't already have. They might disable Download Manager for getting more titles but I don't think they will kill the ones I already have downloaded (at least until I buy a new computer). Still have about 100 to go, so I know what I will be doing on my holiday...

So there's one more example why some folks say to DeDRM and backup everything you own if you want to ensure you keep the access you're entitled to.
Why is losing a book a side "benefit" for me? 'Cuz I couldn't care less about that particular book--not even sure why I had it--and Audible gave me two credits in compensation for it disappearing. :-)

Do you mean you had never even downloaded more than a hundred Audible books? Wow.
I buy, I download, I convert. The exceptions are some freebies, like the Audible Originals they had previously been providing with membership. I went through my Audible books not that long ago to download and convert those as well. All that's left are the various free author interviews, which I won't bother with.
So there's no disaster in the offing that I need to prepare for. There's just the possible inconvenience in the future; if I knew for sure that I would no longer be able to download aax, I would use up all credits now.
