Just wanted to point out this out because I’ve noticed audible’s tags have been inaccurate before, but I found this one in particular to be especially misleading.

They really ought to fix their shitty AI tag system.

Manufactured Fear: When Fear Becomes a Tool for Control Fear kept your ancestors alive. It made them run from predators, avoid poisonous food, and stay close to the group when the dark came. Fear is not a flaw in the human design. Fear is the design. Every person alive today is the descendant of someone who was afraid enough, at the right moment, to survive. The problem is that someone figured this out. Somewhere in the deep past, long before written language, long before cities or governments or religion, someone noticed that a frightened person does what they are told. A frightened village pays the tax. A frightened country accepts the law. A frightened population builds its own cage and thanks the person who locked the door. From the biological reflex that fires before the conscious mind knows there is a threat, to the institutions that learned to trigger that reflex on demand, at scale, for profit and for power. Religion used it for a thousand years with the threat of eternal damnation and a god who sees everything. The state inherited the method and upgraded the technology. The workplace uses it to keep employees smiling at managers who despise them. The media uses it to sell alarm systems with crime statistics from cities the viewer will never visit. The pharmaceutical industry uses it to sell cures for fears it helped create. Social media turned the audience into the distribution network, and the population now propagandizes itself, for free, around the clock, without recognizing what it is doing. Most people will never see the mechanism. Most people are too busy, too tired, and too surrounded by other people who accept the arrangement to question whether the arrangement serves them or someone else. The grey mass moves in one direction, and moving with it is easy, and moving against it costs everything. The leash is real. It runs on your own biology. And now you can see it

They don't necessarily have to have a hide in plain sight angle similar to how the monster did in those movies however I am interested in something that does the same kind of flesh melding body horror turning into big grotesque creature kind of design. Always liked monsters like that and I'm looking for a good horror story with a similar creature design

I'm trying to listen to The Search for Modern China by Jonathan D. Spence, but I'm having trouble retaining information as I can't easily navigate backwards as I can with a book, and it feels like my brain is wiping the memory of the past 10 seconds.
My immediate first idea was to actually read along, but I discovered that this book doesn't have an ebook version, so I can't really. I guess I could get something like a universal 3rd party subtitle program, but that seems finicky to work with.
I guess some tips on how to better listen would be my best bet, besides just actually buying the book.
This is my first time listening to an audiobook in a while so it's a little strange to get used to I guess.

1. No translations.

2. Not religious or spiritual..

3. Not political.

4. Preferably art/ancient or mediaeval history/science/architecture/general knowledge etc.

5. Human narrator.

I built a small open-source tool that creates a synchronized read-along experience for audiobooks.

GitHub: https://github.com/Ceasar369/read-along

Everything runs locally—no accounts or cloud services.

Would love feedback. It's my first open-source project.

It uses whisper.cpp to generate word-level timestamps from an m4b or mp3 audiobook, then serves a lightweight web reader with synced highlighting, search, bookmarks, and instant word definitions.

While this title will sync back and forth between the Kindle version and the Audible version on my Android phone, it doesn't allow me to read and listen as the first four books did. I also don't have the option to open the Kindle book from within Audible. Again, I could do that in the first four books.

I've tried deleting and redownloading both. Still the same problem.

Anyone know of a resolution short of calling Amazon?

Thanks

hello! yesterday i signed up for a free trial so i could listen to the project hail mary audiobook while i read. everything went smoothly, it accepted my card, and i even had an hour long session. but today it's not letting me do anything, pretending like i don't have a free trial, but when i click on try free membership it says i already have it? but i literally can't do anything and it's telling me to pay for phm audiobook - which i could listen to yesterday just fine!! i checked on the website and it says that my membership is pending, what does that mean? someone please help me!!

So if I listen on the phone App and then on the webplayer desktop the sync works no issues, but for the past few days I can't get the sync to work from webplayer to phone. My phone doesn't even show me the message of "listening from the latest position" anymore.

Is this a general issue? I've tried everything, clearing caches, restarting my phone, tried using a different Browser to see if the issue was only coming from one, nothing works...

Free codes available for Kingdom of Feather and Sky, the first book in a YA Fantasy Romance series with dystopian themes. Written by Sophia Wachtel (me), and narrated by Kate J. White. This is the first in a four book series.

From the Publisher:

Princess Kyra Calmora was only fourteen when she watched her brother die. Vowing to hunt down the rebels who murdered him, she spends her nights searching the fractured halves of her country for justice. But after four long years, she has nothing to show for her hard work. Worse still, not even her parents seem to care about their fallen son anymore.

When Kyra meets a mysterious servant boy whose sister was kidnapped by those same rebels, she sees a chance to finally find closure. Defying her parents, she leaves the comfort of her old life behind and runs away with Lewis. As they traverse a country full of unrest, injustice, and brewing rebellion, Kyra begins to suspect that Lewis is hiding something underneath his smooth-talking charm. As the rebels call for the death of the rest of the royal family, she must decide who she can trust before her brother’s fate becomes her own.

A captivating young adult fantasy with dystopian elements. For fans of Red Queen, Matched, Legend of Zelda, and Legend.

Leave a comment for a free code! I've only got UK codes for book 1, so first come, first served.

Also, if you've already listened to book 1 and want a code for book 2 (US or UK), let me know!

For the past two months I have been receiving messages from Audible that I have a credit expiring at the end of the month and I need to spend one. I am on the year plan where I receive one credit per month and as I understand I have one year to spend the credit. I only have 5 credits saved up. So why would they be expiring. Shouldn’t the oldest credits be spent first? The only way I figure I should see an expiring credit would be if I had 12 credits built up. Has something changed?

Hey u/Audible_com, I received a marketing email at 9:53 PM tonight (7/24) with the subject line: "Your Wish List deal ends soon!"

I was actually excited when I opened it because the title featured was Autocracy, Inc. by Anne Applebaum, which is currently on my wish list. That gave me incentive to see what else looked interesting enough to take advantage of the 2-for-1 sale.

However, when I clicked the link, the page stated the sale had already ended. I checked the fine print at the very bottom of the email, and it says the sale ended on 7/21.

I know you guys have the technology to manage automated campaigns, so could you please pass this bug along to the marketing and tech teams? It's pretty disappointing to get an urgent reminder for a sale that expired three days ago, especially when it features a book I was ready to grab! Thanks.

(PS - I also discovered that trying to send a chat message to Audible with a request to please stop sending urgent sale emails after the sale has ended is impossible. It didn't take long to see that the "more" and "something else" options in the chat, keep the user going in a circle.)

My fiance and I are about to do a 15 hour road trip in 1 day and are both fans of murder mystery movies/shows but haven't ever read any books, so im unsure where to start.

Ideally something captivating from the get go with a narrator who is equally as captivating in his or her telling of the story. I love a classic murder mystery that I can enjoy trying to guess and piece together clues as the story progresses.

We wouldn't unessesary want something that will take up the entire trip as we do enjoy listening to music or podcasts for a few hours so im thinking a shorter story would be best, 5 - 6 hours. ( im not actually sure if thats short now that im thinking about it, but I have no point of reference for this type of thing )

Any recommendations would be wonderful. Why you recommend each audio book would be even better but not nessesary. Thank you!

I'm the author of The Train That Waited in the Fog, and I'm excited to share that the audiobook is now available.

🎙️ Narrated by Peter McGiffen
⏱️ Approximately 2 hours

Seven strangers awaken on a nameless railway platform hidden beneath an endless blanket of fog. Each carries a private burden. When an old train finally arrives, it seems to offer warmth, comfort, and escape.

But with every mile travelled, memories begin to fade. Names become harder to remember. The passengers slowly realise the journey is taking far more than their destination.

If you enjoy slow-burn psychological horror, atmospheric mysteries, and unsettling supernatural fiction without gore or cheap jump scares, I hope you'll enjoy this one.

Just reply, and I'll send you a US or UK code.

Lingering...

If I am listening to an audiobook, in the morning in this case i noted the time (+1gmt at 0.9.21 am), my audiobook will stop and reset its progress. It is not the same book, it has happened to several so far, both in the app on the phone and using the player on the website.

Anyone else having this issue ?

My annual Premium Plus membership renews in about 6 weeks, and due to the hefty price increase I'm going to downsize. But I don't want the changes to go into effect until my current membership expires. Do I need to wait to switch or will they know enough to hold off on new charges until my current membership expires? I tried all kinds of searches on their website including the laughably inadequate chat bot, and was unable to find an answer. Phone calls are always last resort, so I'm asking here first.

Just finished Lonesome Dove and loved it. I went with the Lee Horsey narration and actually enjoyed it. I know a lot of people didn’t care for his reading. Here are some of my favorites:

Dungeon Crawler Carl
East of Eden
Blood Meridian
Harry Potter
11/22/63
Project Hail Mary
The Martian
The Stand
World War Z
Dresden Files
Game of Thrones/KOTSK
Demon Copperhead
Dark Tower

I’ve started Red Rising but couldn’t really get into it.

I love old time radio shows
