Audible - Old Titles no longer in Library but viewable/downloadable on Kindle Fires
I have a really weird issue with Audible.
My oldest 10 purchases have disapeared from my Audible library, the books are gone plus the orders have vanished as well. These are 2010 purchases. But the really strange thing is that my Kindle HDX 8.9 can see 9 of books plus 1 part of the 10th book (it's in three parts) But my Kindle HDX 7 can see all 10 books including all three of the 3 part book. And I can download them to the Fires but none of those 10 are actually in my audible library any more so for example iOS app can't see any of them. I just wonder if anyone else has ever seen this. |

I'd have been tempted to guess that it reflects the splitting out of your account and the books are no longer for sale and therefore not in your library since it had to be restored, but the date issue makes that unlikely.
So here's a wild question: are the ten books in questions more than five years old? Maybe there was a five-year cutoff and hence just your earliest books were affected. I have no guess at all on the three-parter. |

The loss of the books doesn't bother me as they are in iTunes so I still have them. It would make far more sense if no device or app saw the books. It's the fact that my Kindle fires can see them, albeit slightly differently, that is strange. Last edited by Josieb1; 10-19-2015 at 11:38 AM. |

I've had audiobooks disappear out of my Audible library on several occasions. A call to CS eventually gets it cleared up and the audiobooks are returned. No explanation as to why it happens.
But hey, they're Audible |

The only place I see them is in my Audible tab on my Kindle Fires. The orders are gone from my account, the audiobooks aren't in my library and no app can see them. It's all very strange. Still at least I have them in iTunes |

Interesting. I've had audiobooks become not available in my wishlist, but none have vanished. Even the one's that are no longer available have a place marker. I have books going back to 2005.

Times Legacy by Barbara Erskine is the really strange one. My copy is read by Rula Lenska, that's not available anymore, it's a different reader on the current version. My copy is in three parts. One HDX can see all the parts, the other one only one part. All parts (and the other 9 books) can be downloaded.
