No matter how far technology takes us, real, handheld books have their charm. If you’re ready to return to physical literature, here’s how to cancel your Audible membership.
Many of us choose to cancel due to budget strains or a lack of Audible credits. Whatever your reason, we’re here to help!
Before we show you how to cancel an Audible membership, here are a few things to remember:
- Use all your credits. Any you’ve got left will be gone when you say goodbye. So, grab any audiobooks you fancy before hitting the cancel button.
- Download your stuff. After canceling, you can still get to the audiobooks you’ve already got, but only when online. To make sure you can listen offline, download them now.
- If you aren’t sure about canceling, no worries. You can pause your Audible membership for a bit and take a break without losing anything.
- When you’re canceling, Audible might try to keep you around by offering a freebie or giving you a discount. Give it some thought and see if it’s worth staying for.
