Yes, in the past you could return such books, but starting in around october of 2022, audible took away that ability. If you look at your purchase history on the audible website, you will see that each book that you purchased with cash now says return unavailable. > On Feb 8, 2024, at 3:12

A call to Amazon could sort this out fairly quickly. The only limit I know of on returning books is if you wait too long or try to return too many close together. Richard, USA “Grandma always told us, “Be careful when you pray for patience. God stores it on the other side of Hell and you

I understand your perspective on that the only downside to purchasing books with money as opposed to credits is that if you do not like the book you cannot return it and you're stuck with it and I absolutely hate that I hate being stuck with books that I don't like > On Feb 7, 2024, at 11:33

Here in Canada you cannot buy a book directly for cash. I just checked as there was an Audible update just yesterday and all I get from the app is the option to buy it with a credit but since I currently don't have any credits, it does give me the option to "Buy extra credits". If I select

I generally buy on the website instead of the app for this reason. I always try to score a Kindle Unlimited promo sub to make the Kindle version free wherever possible to only pay at the discounted price on Audible. That and I use the Library extension

I do the same thing. Don't forget about the monthly sales. You can get some really good deals. I got the bookThe Three Musketeers for $1.80. When I save up some money, I'm going back to $230 per year for 24 credits all at once. That plan has the best deals on purchasing extra credits. On

I am on a yearly credit plan that of course I buy through Audible directly. So the credits are each worth something less than $11. I figured it out and I don’t remember exactly. So I always look to see about whispersync, but often it’s cheaper to use a credit or maybe I’ll find it on bookshare

Hi Mary, I almost always prefer to purchase via the Amazon primary site because the Audible version is much less expensive when you also purchase the Kindel version, at the same time. I recently purchased a Kendle with Whisper sync title for a total of $11 while purchasing the Audible title,

No. Amazingly enough, it’s not that way. We don’t have tax in this state sales tax that is. So I bought Books on the phone and was charged no more than I would’ve been charged had I purchased them on the Audible website. They’ve obviously done some kind of deal on the side to make this happen.

Yes. What is supposed to happen is you’re in the Audible app. You find something you want. You see a guy with one credit button and you see a buy for however much cash button. Having decided to purchase with cash, you double tap that. What should happen then is that you get this ding and the

This is a new feature of the app. I suspect, there might be some bugs that need to be ironed out. I have had no problems with the audible app. I think I might have bought a book with cash from the app myself. I just did face ID and double tapped the side button twice, and it worked just fine.

If you don’t see the option to buy with cash, as head out or though has said, make sure you updated your app. As for it being easier to purchase with a credit, sure it’s easier. It’s also stupid if the cash price is less than what you paid for the credit. If you’re willing to trade efficiency
