An hour ago, I wrote to Audible documenting the steps needed to delete a book and revd a reply within minutes that my concern would be forwarded to the developers. The response was boiler-plate language, but at least, I got a promise that the feedback would be sent on. Robin and others, if I hear anything more from Audible, I'll be back in touch.
