I agree, Steve. I avoided the Windows app for a long time but things are becoming more problematic with the download manager so I decided to persevere and switched to the Windows app. I only installed it yesterday so my experience with it is limited, but I am glad to say that with the scripts it seems just fine to use, and downloading books from what I’ve seen so far is completely manageable. My gripe with it though is why Audible hasn’t made it fully accessible without the need for extra scripts? They know that a good portion of their customers rely on screen readers.

Best,

Amro

Hi,

I think Download Manager is going to become more problematic as Windows updates.

Also, Audible no longer support it.  So I would persevere with the Windows 10 app if you want to download books to the PC.

All the best

Thanks for the links and for the information, I still don’t know whether it would be an advantage for me to use the Windows app or to stick with download manager.

Hi all,

First which format one chooses to download Audible books isn’t related

to what app one uses to download the books as far as I know. In library

one can choose format 4 or enhanced, and in the Windows app I saw an

option to choose between normal quality and high quality which I assume

between format 4 and enhanced.

Thanks to David who pointed out that Doug Lee wrote scripts for the

Windows app; I installed the scripts and they do make using the Windows

app a lot easier.

For instructions on how and where to download the Audible Windows app

head to

https://audible-uk.custhelpcom/app/answers/detail/a_id/5509/kw/download%20the%20Windows%2010%20Audible%20app/related/1

& nbsp;

And for the Windows app Jaws scripts go to

https://www.dlee.org/audible/

HTH,

Amro
