After that, Audible wants to talk to you to understand what it is you’re not liking and make some recommendations to help you find a better listen. As a reminder, your request to return an audiobook should be within 365 days of the original purchase.

How many times can I exchange an Audible book?

According to the Audible Exchange Policy, in instances where Audible finds the benefit is being overused it may, at its sole discretion, limit the number of exchanges and refunds allowed by each member, including, but not limited to, the loss of this benefit where Audible suspects abuse of the spirit of the program. Eligibility for this program ends immediately if a customer cancels or fails to maintain his or her membership in good standing. Audible may cancel or modify the terms applicable to the program with respect to any or all participants at any time.
