I think you're overreacting. Why is this annoying you? Most people actually want this as a feature since you did "purchase" that book even though it cost you nothing or are you another person about to complain about Amazon remembering what you've bought :P

Have you tried to log into the Audible site? Currently you have to manage Audible audiobooks from there instead of the main Amazon site. The integration isn't fully complete yet so the management of Audible items needs you to go to the Audible site.

I really had to think a while before I made the link with the free ebook 6 years ago, at the time I bought an iPod.


edit: Kevin, I don't want audible books on my Kindle. I want to get rid of them.

Yeah sorry I realise that, was Hijacking slightly and asking for myself ... Sorry for intrusion / confusion

Kevin, no harm done.
I was a bit too vexed about it al (like:how dare they....on MY Kindle ).
Didn't realise I still had an Audibleaccount, even after not buying a thing; so I'll contact them to close that account.
I still don't get how the audibles got on my Kindle without me doing anything, though and why they don't show up anywhere, except on the Kindle. I'm rather intrigued by it now.

As noted earlier, they are not "on" your Kindle, they are available to be downloaded to it as a previous "purchase".

Audible is now Amazon, and they're placing your Audible books in the archive, just as they do your previous purchases. That integration may not (yet) be available for other Kindle software platforms (similar to how newspaper/magazine subscriptions are only currently available on the actual Kindle device, AFAIK).

Thank you for pointing that out Bwaldron; now I get it. Thanks also Harry and Tiersten for your patience.

Just wondering - did you sign in to audible, or link it to your amazon account in any way?

I also have an audible account but have no interest in putting audio books on my kindle. Thank goodness they haven't shown up yet.

No, didn't sign in on Audible, nor requested it. Didn't realise I had an Audibleaccount, as (after the free book I got 6 years ago) I never bought anything.

I guess it is understandable that you'd be surprised when a freebie from 6 years ago appears in your archived list and that you can't remove it from the manage my Kindle page. Be thankful it wasn't something embarrassing!

Too true. Anna Karenina from Leo Tolstoj on my Kindle.............make's me look rather intellectual.

Hm....(understand in a way, but still am puzzled about the whole thing).
