Remove Audible books
I have an 11th generation Kindle paperwhite (Signature edition).
It displays both my ebooks and Audible books but I am only interested in seeing the ebooks as I don't listen to Audible on my paperwhite. I there any way to remove them from my Kindle? There is no remove option and the settings menu only allows for showing Audible in Home and Library or Library only. It doesn't offer an option to not show them at all. If I connect the kindle to my computer the directory doesn't have any audible books listed that I can delete. |

I don't want it to show in library either. I just want them to not display at all.

Thank you for that suggestion. I hadn't even noticed the filter option (it's very inconspicuous).
I can now just display books only. Thank you again. |

Or, even easier, I always have show ALL and DOWNLOADED as my filters. This way I can see everything on my Kindle, and if I want to look in the cloud, I can see everything, including audible by just disabling the download filter temporarily.

Unfortunately the audible books downloaded themselves when I initially activated my kindle. Now I can't get rid of them.

In any case, there should be a Remove download option. Or it might be easier to go to Settings -> Advanced Options -> Storage Management -> Manual Removal -> Audible to do this. |

Maybe on an older paperwhite but there is no option like that on the signature paperwhite. ☹️
It's fine though since I can hide them easily using the filter option. |

I do not have an older Kindle, in fact I have the same model as yourself. It has to have this feature. It's been the same for years.

I don't have a storage managment section. All I have under advanced options are:
Device Time Home and Library Update your Kindle (greyed out) Whispersync for Books Power Saver Privacy I don't have it available anywhere else either. I'm on firmware version 5.15.1 maybe that's the difference. Last edited by Jean; 02-22-2023 at 01:54 AM. |

With Special Offers Kindles, Device Time option is on Device Options page instead of Advanced Options (there's room there as Special Offers Kindles have no Display Cover option), and with one less option, no scrolling is needed on Advanced Options to show Storage Management.
