Hi Jacky

The only problem I had with the site was finding my download
link once I had purchased a book, now I have worked that
out, it is easy.

Adrien

Hi Jim

We personally haven't experienced any difficulties with the
Audible website
before or since it changed, but do appreciate some people
have had
difficulty.

At the risk of starting a new thread, I ended my
subscription with 
Audible for lots of reasons, one being the ongoing
difficulties with 
their site.
Are things still the same or have they changed?
