Hi Sieghard,

 

Yes, the Audible latest version app in the States lets us single finger swipe 
on our library titles and offers a remove from device option for any which have 
been downloaded to the device. It sounds like maybe the version you have in 
Canada doesn't offer that option yet based on what at least one other has 
posted on this thread.

Hi Alan,

 

You say “doing a single finger swipe on a title which has been downloaded to my 
iPhone will offer a choice of remove from device”.

Are you saying you can flick up or down on a title and it gives you a 
remove/delete option?

This is also new to me and while how Audible has had it for quite some time now 
works fine, I wish they did use the rotor and you could flick up to a delete 
option on a book.

The way I have to delete books is to first double tap on what I call the 
“master delete” button which is to the left of refresh. Once activated each 
title I downloaded has a delete button, I have to double tap on it, wait for a 
second until Voiceover says “Delete” a second time and then double tap before 
the book is deleted.

 

I agree that it would be silly to allow you to delete books from your Cloud 
library, this is where you have all the books you have bought and how else 
would you be able to access them. I assume Audible could implement some sort of 
feature which would allow you to Hide a book and to then have access to that 
hidden section in case you ever want to unhide a book, but as far as I am 
concerned I want all my books in my Cloud tab so I can search for any of them 
if I want to listen to something a second time.

 

Regards,

Sieghard

I've got the same buttons and controls Richard detailed in his below message. 
Deleting a title is very easy as others have already posted. When I have all 
titles selected, doing a single finger swipe on a title which has been 
downloaded to my iPhone will offer a choice of remove from device when that 
title has focus. This option is not available on titles that are only in the 
cloud. I'm a bit confused why deleting an Audible book is causing confusion. It 
seems to me that they've got it working well as it is now.

You may be on an older version of the app, or it is different in Canada.

On the bottom, I now only have 4 tabs: Home, Library, Originals, and Discover.

There is no longer a Cloud button or Device button at the top.

Along the top if you select the Library tab, you have these buttons:

Search, Titles, Unread, Collection, All Titles, Not Started, Started, 
Downloaded, Finished.

Depending on which one of those is selected, you will find the number of titles 
in that section, then a Recent button and a Select button, which I have not 
quite sorted out what the Selected button accomplishes.

You're right, it is fascinating since I don't have an unread option!  I can 
sort by: recent, length, title and author.  That's all of my choices.

 

I'd love to call them but at least here in Canada they've closed the phone line 
so that option isn't currently available and I am really fed up of having so 
many excess titles.

 

Thanks,

Joy
