Hi Teresa, Kimber's instructions are correct and apply to the most recent version of the app and also applied to the main version before. In between (during the last couple of weeks or so) Audible released a version where for Voiceover users the delete process was broken, but it is now working again. Basically I just wanted to add that one good way to make sure you activate the correct delete button first is to make sure you find the "Refresh" button, then swipe left once and then you are at the delete button which you want to activate so that all the individual delete buttons for each book show up. Those individual delete buttons are down on the left side of the screen or, as Kimber, said, you can flick right past the title, now in this last version there is a "Menu" button first which gives you a couple more options like "View book details" and "Mark as Finished" and a flick to the right past that is now the delete button. Unfortunately in this newest version it once again just says "Delete" where in the 2.4.x versions it would say "Delete" followed by the book title you are deleting which was a nice feature.
This release is definitely better, but it's still not quite the same as before. I noticed that now when you are in a book the button at the top left which used to be "Back" and wich in between was unlabeled is now called "Close" which I guess makes some sense since it's there to close the now playing screen. I checked out what Alan pointed out about the details at the top of the now playing screen and I agree that the extra information about playback progress, number of chapters, time elapsed and time remaining is nice. What I don't get is why Audible put in that menu button with just 2 options which one can easily access with a double tap and hold on the title which is how it was in the previous version and this also still works in this version. I think we should all write to Audible and ask them to reintroduce the Action menu because at one point I could just swipe down on a book title and get to the delete button. Sighted people would swipe across the title and the delete button would pop up.

Hi Teresa, These instructions are for the most recent version of the Audible app, so make sure your app is up-to-date. There have been some changes in the deletion process, so unless you have the most recent release these instructions won't work. First make sure you have selected the device button so that only the books you have downloaded are showing. There are some buttons along the top of the screen that say something like all, recent and delete. Double tap the delete button. Now flic down to where the books are listed. As you flick down past the title and author you will come to a button that says delete. Double tap it. Be sure you want to delete the book because, unlike in previous versions of the app, you will not be asked if you are sure. The book will just be deleted. I hope this is helpful.
