I am still curious if others can delete the normal way, i.e. double tap the main delete button and then have delete buttons showing up for each book without doing anything else. This is working for me and has been ever since this was initially fixed a few versions ago.

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.

While I’m glad it is still possible to delete as I recall when we couldn’t it’s still maddening to have to go through so many steps to do it.

Sieghard, after reading your thoughtful post, I did lots of testing only to find that I could not make VoiceOver speak the "delete" buttons on the left side of the screen unless I took focus away from the device after pressing the "Delete" button that initiates the deletion process. After focusing on the device, I pressed "delete" and swiped right and left and touched the screen spot by spot, so to speak, all to no avail. When I focused on "Cloud," and when I brought focus back from "Cloud" to "Device," the book-specific "Delete" buttons were spoken by both swiping and touching the screen. Perhaps this bug is device- and iOS-specific. I'm using an iPhone 5 and iOS 8.3. I may communicate with Audible again in order to tell them that no one, sighted or blind, should have to switch focus away from the device in order to delete a book. I am glad you are able to delete books in the prescribed way and only wish the process would work equally well for everyone. Again, thanks for your words.

The Delete function works and has worked for me as it should in the last few versions. I don’t remember when it was broken that time I think when they first introduced the 2.5 or 2.6 series of updates, but then they fixed it and it has been working fine for me without any work-arounds. All I do is double tap the Delete button at the top (to the left of Refresh) and then all the delete buttons beside each book show up, I can double tap them and the book is gone. The app no longer asks to confirm if you want to delete, but that’s fine with me since one would assume that by the time you get to this point you know you want to delete the book. I still think it’s too bad that the buttons to delete each book only say “Delete” and not Delete followed by the book title, but I usually swipe so I know for sure I am on the correct delete button. All the delete buttons are along the very left edge of the screen, to the left of the book titles, but when you swipe right, Voiceover reads the book title first, then it reads the “Menu” button and then comes the delete button. Interestingly enough, when the main delete button is activated and you explore the screen rather than swipe, the Menu buttons which are normally down the very right edge of the screen, are nowhere to be found, you hear them only when you swipe, but they actually don’t do anything when in delete mode. Maybe some others can check if this works for them, but I also hadn’t heard lately that the delete functionality was broken. I do, however, agree that it would be nice if for Voiceover users delete was once again a rotor option as it once was.
