I have trouble buying and getting downloads started with IE 8. Actually have
had this problem since IE 7. However, I have a lot of problems shopping for
books using Firefox, pretty much since I started using Audible several years
ago. The initial problem with Firefox was that I couldn't get the flyover
text that pops up in a search result to read in Firefox and I found it
really slow and tedious to navigate to the Publisher's Summary on each book
I looked at. Since about the time Audible added their browsing history
feature, I have not been able to get any search results to display in
Audible, this includes Firefox 3.6, 4 and 5 with WE 7.5.1.
What I have been doing for some time is to shop for books using IE 8, in
addition to being able to get search results and read the flyover version of
the publisher's summary in search results, I find that updating changes to
the shopping cart is more responsive in IE. I then close IE and go to
Audible in Firefox and check out which works better than in IE in my
experience and also allows me to use the auto-download feature which, last
time I checked, did not work with IE. This is a bit of a complicated way to
shop, but I find it actually allows me to shop, buy and download faster than
using just one of the browsers. If the issues with Firefox displaying books
could be resolved, if cart changes could be made to work better and faster
and if flyover text could be made to display properly in Firefox, I would
happily use just Firefox, but right now, the two browser method seems to
work best, or at least it does for me. I suppose that if IE could work with
the auto-start download feature, I could use it, but I generally am not fond
of IE and prefer to only use it in cases where things don't work properly
with Firefox.
Regards,
Chris

Greetings,
We have heard that some parts of the Audible website tend to disappear
when you are logged in with Firefox. Does using the website via Internet
Explorer instead work?

Manager
app work with the website? I can search for a book, etc. but then can't
find search results from which to choose, or a summary or sample of the
audio book. I can sign in and out but not buy a book or figure out where
it
goes if I do get it into my cart. I have latest software and FF 5.
I did call Audible. Can someone please help??
