I can't comment regarding the Mac. But it's not accessible on the iPhone with
Safari. And what you do is return the book for whatever you paid for it.
Sometimes, you may not use the credit, because the price of the book is cheaper
due to some kind of sale. In that case, you get back what you put in. I had to
get cited help to get it done, but it's worth it. It might work on the Mac, not
saying it doesn't. Go to your Audible library on your Mac, search for the word
return, and then find the link that takes you to that page where you see your
list of books that are eligible for return. Good luck.

You can also return books for credits as long as the purchase was within one
year.

Well, I have never purchased an audiobook through iTunes. I have been an
audible member for many many years, long before I ever thought of a Mac or
before iPhones existed. For me, the number one reason not to buy through
iTunes is the cost. The books are outrageously expensive. If you join
Audible, at the platinum rate, which gives you 24 credits a year, you can
get 24 books a year at a cost of slightly less than $10 per book. You have
to pay for the credits all at once, which might not be something everybody
can do. But if you can, it's for sure worth it if you are a reasonably
heavy user of audiobooks. They also have a gold level, which gives you 12
credits per year, but the credits cost more, making your book purchase cost
you something like 13 or $14 per book. In addition, if you run out of
credits before your subscription renews, you can get 15% off on other book
purchases. And you can choose A daily summary from either the Wall Street
Journal or the New York Times at no extra cost. Also, audible runs periodic
sales where you can get three books for two credits or sometimes two books
for one credit from a list that they provide on their website.
I realize that none of these things were what you directly ask about, but I
think they're very important, since books from the iTunes Store are
expensive. As for the quality, since I have not used a book purchased from
iTunes, I obviously can't comment. But between the so-called CD-quality,
which is the highest one to give you that warning and the next one down, if
you're just listening to your books on the average phone speaker or
whatever, it doesn't matter. We are talking about voice recording here
after all, not high fidelity music. I'm not saying there's no difference at
all. I'm just saying for me at least, it's not worth it. If you have tons
of space and want to use up twice as much space with audio, go for it.

Hi all, first off, I would like to say that I have been buying my
audiobooks through iTunes/iBooks store for quite a few years now and it
has amounted to quite a collection. Recently though, I have started using
Amazon which owns Audible.
The reason to why I am thinking about switching has to do with the audio
quality .
I'm not completely sure, but isn't the sound quality of iTunes audiobooks
considerably lower than Audible's quality in the Audible app for IOS?
For those who have the Audible app do you notice any difference in sound
when you choose the high option compared to standard? Besides the alert
that says when selecting it, warning: This setting will result in larger
file sizes and longer download times. Which is pretty obvious anyway. Just
wanted to know if the higher option really makes a difference or not to
the listening experience .
If not, I'll continue to use iTunes and if anyone could say why they
prefer Audible compared to iTunes I would appreciate that as well.
I thanks
Daniel
