We all make mistakes! Please contact our Customer Service team and they can help you out.
How do I change the playback speed of an audiobook?
While listening to an audiobook in-app, tap the bottom left of the screen where it says 1x. Here, you can adjust your playback speed from 0.5x to 2x.
What does “abridged” mean?
Abridged means that it is a shortened version of the original book, which allows you to consume a larger book in a shorter amount of time.
What is the sleep timer and how do I use it?
While listening to an audiobook in-app, you can set a sleep timer, so that the book automatically stops playing after a set amount of time. To use this feature, while playing an audiobook, tap the crescent moon icon at the bottom of the screen, select your desired amount of time, and tap Apply.
What is a sample and how do I hear it?
We always want you to be able to sample an audiobook before using a credit or purchasing it. Simply navigate to the audiobook you’d like to sample and click Play. Both on the website and in-app, you will be able to listen to a few minutes of the book before deciding whether you’d like to use a credit to redeem the book or purchase it.
My audiobook comes with a PDF or other additional content, where do I view this?
Log in via our website and navigate to My Books. At the top of the page, there will be a Bonus Content tab, this is where you will be able to view all of your additional content for your titles. Note: this tab may not appear if you don't have any titles in your library with bonus content.
Can I download a book to my device without the app?
No. We only offer listening via our website, and/or within our app for iOS or Android.
How much device storage or data is used for an audiobook?
For device storage, the average audiobook size is 350MB (may vary for longer titles). And for data purposes, if you're streaming an audiobook, we suggest having at least 150MB bandwidth. If you're downloading the audiobook to your iPhone or Android smartphone, it's best to have at least 500MB of bandwidth free.
I signed up with Google/Amazon/an Apple ID and now I can’t login. What do I do?
If you signed up using one of these alternative methods, you will need to use your email and password associated with that account to access your Audiobooks.com account.

For Apple, if you are still having issues, this could be because you selected to sign-up with an anonymous email address. If you cannot remember this address, please contact our customer service team for assistance.
My book is in the wrong language, what do I do?
If you’ve purchased an audiobook in the wrong language, please contact our Customer Service team for assistance.
