I am "trying" to go through my Audible WL. The site has recently become slower than molasses in January! So far I have found 6 titles that are no longer in the program. (And try to delete one, the whole page refreshes....the web site is garbage!)

Also - does anyone know how much an author makes from a library audiobook sale? If the library buys a copy and 300 people listen to it, surely it can't be much more than what they get from the Audible Romance package. Is there any data to show that library audiobooks are more profitable than ARP books, both of which are loans, not purchases?
