The best way to protect your account information is by adding a password to ensure you are the only one accessing your account.  Passwords protect your account information, such as your address, library, order history, and payment information.  Requiring a password ensures privacy of such information from others or if you access AudiobookStore.com from a shared or public computer.

If you've forgotten your Password and cannot log into your account, you may reset it using the following steps. (NOTE: Do NOT submit multiple reset requests because our system will reset your password again with each attempt. This will only result in further complications when you begin receiving the temporary password emails since you will not know which one is the correct and most recent password.)

To reset your password while NOT logged into your account: Go to the AudiobookSTORE.com home page and click the "Login" link located at the top right of the page. This will take you to the "Login/Create Account" page. Click on the "Forgot your password?" link (above the Login button) and you will be asked to provide the email address that you used when setting up your account. Type your email address and click the "Submit" button. You will then receive a message stating "Your password has been reset..." and an email will be sent to the email account you entered in the Password Reset field with a new temporary password. Please be sure to check your SPAM or Junkmail folder if you do not receive an email from us within 15 minutes. If you do not know the email address associated with your account, or you still cannot locate the email from our system with the temporary password after 15 minutes, contact support for assistance.

To CHANGE your password while logged in: Click the "Account" link located on the top right of the home page and then choose "Account Details" from the dropdown menu. This will take you to your "My Account" dashboard. Under the heading "My Account," Click on the "Edit" link to the right of "Login Details". This will expand your details section so you can change your password, email address, and/or name.

Please note: Your password should be at least 6 characters and have at least one number for enhanced security.

If you don't receive an email with a temporary password (please allow at least 15 minutes for the email to arrive), please check your "junk mail" or "spam" folder. If you do not see it there please contact us by chat by clicking on the chat link at the bottom right corner of our contact page, or by email.

Due to the immense convenience and greatly reduced environmental impact of digital downloads we no longer offer audiobooks on cassettes, CDs, or MP3 CDs. Please note that our audiobooks can easily be converted to CD if you prefer that format.

Yes, you can purchase audiobooks at non-member prices without signing up for a FlexPass™ membership by choosing the Regular Price option on the product detail pages. Please note... If you've already added a product to the cart using the FlexPass™ promotional option, simply click the "Remove FlexPass" link within the yellow banner on the shopping cart page and the product's price will revert to the Regular Price (non-member price).

(NOTE: Although membership is not required when purchasing at Regular Price, a valid (FREE) AudiobookSTORE.com cloud account is required for all purchases. Your FREE cloud account provides access to your audiobooks from any computer and serves as your login credentials when using our award winning apps.)

FlexPass™ membership was designed to make listening more economical for all customers, whether you're a light or heavy listener. Your ridiculously low $11.95 FlexPass™ membership fee unlocks extremely discounted pricing on ALL audiobooks in our inventory.

Unabridged audiobooks consist of the book in its entirety, exactly as it was written. No content is edited or omitted. Readers are listening to the book precisely as the author intended it to be heard.

Abridged audio books are a shortened version of the original. They may be condensed due to time constraints, or in some cases due to content. Abridged audiobooks may have sections of the book removed although the publishers typically try to come close to the "spirit" of the original writing.

At this time, we do not offer a free physical copy when you purchase a downloadable audiobook.

The answer to this question is based on a variety of factors and depends primarily on your internet provider’s speed. A high speed internet connection, such as DSL, Cable or Fiber Optic is recommended for fast downloading.

A typical audiobook is about 10-12 hours in length - roughly 300-400 Megabytes. With a 7 Megabit broadband connection to your PC or Mac, it would take approximately 6-7 minutes to download an entire book.

For our mobile App, you can choose to use either a WiFi connection (when available) or a wireless 3G/4G/LTE (data) connection. WiFi will be a much faster and more reliable connection than using your wireless carrier’s internet connection. Typically a home WiFi connection will download a standard title in about 7-10 minutes.

Please note this is just an approximation based on a certain set of circumstances. Your experience may vary.

We can accept US and international orders for audiobooks with resale rights in your particular geographical location, as dictated by the publisher of the audiobook. Geographic resale rights restrictions are integrated into the website checkout. If the publisher does not allow a particular audiobook to be sold within your geographical region, you will receive a notice to that effect during the checkout process. If you feel there is an error and you should be able to purchase the audiobook (perhaps you are active US military overseas), please contact customer care so that we may review your issue and help in any way we can.

No, our audiobooks do not include transcriptions.

Our audiobook content is currently DRM (Digital Rights Management) free! This means you are allowed an unhindered experience with the audiobooks you have purchased. You may play your purchased audiobooks on any number of computers and/or popular mobile devices that you own.

Yes, you can burn your audiobook to a CD for your individual use only. Please consult your preferred CD burning software manufacturer’s documentation for more detailed information. For general information related to burning to CD (or DVD) using Mac OSX or Windows operating system's built-in burning functionality, please see the FAQ below titled, "How do I burn an audiobook to a CD or DVD?"

Our audiobooks are available in standard mp3 format and are compatible with PC and Mac desktop and laptop computers, as well as popular mobile devices including all iOS devices (such as iPhone, iPod, iPad, etc) and all Android devices.

For the best experience on mobile devices such as phones and tablets we highly recommend downloading our Free Apps for Android and iOS devices from the following links:

AudiobookStore App for Android on Google Play

AudiobookStore App for iOS devices on iTunes

Note: Although our app is fully compatible with Kindle Fire, and is available in the Amazon Appstore, the device itself appears to be restricting our app from downloading (as well as similar apps from similar services). However, you may still transfer and play your downloaded audiobooks on eReaders such as Kindle Fire and Nook Color/Tablet by following the manufacturer's recommended method for transferring mp3 files onto the device, or refer to the corresponding FAQ for downloading and syncing files using your PC.

An MP3 file is a basic compressed audio file, which allows it to be sent easily over the Internet.  It is the most compatible audio format and is supported by a multitude of devices.

Windows PC

To burn an audiobook (or multiple audiobooks) to a CD or DVD in Windows perform the following steps.

1) Insert a blank writable disc, such as a CD-R, CD-RW, DVD-R, DVD-RW, or DVD+RW disc, into your computer's CD, DVD, or Blu-ray disc burner.

2) In the "AutoPlay" dialog box that appears, click "Burn files to disc using Windows Explorer." If the "AutoPlay" dialog box does not appear, click the Windows Start button, then click "Computer", and then double-click your disc burner.

3) In the "Burn a Disc" dialog box, type a name for the disc in the "Disc title" box, click "With a CD/DVD player", and then click "Next."

4) Open the folder that contains the files you want to burn, and then drag the files into the empty disc folder. Note: to select more than one item, press and hold the Ctrl key, and then click the files you want to burn.

5) On the toolbar, click "Burn to disc", and then follow the steps in the wizard. Afterward the selected files will be copied to the disc. When the disc burning is complete, the disc burner tray will open and you can remove the disc.

Apple Mac

To burn an audiobook (or multiple audiobooks) to a CD or DVD in OSX perform the following steps.

1) Insert a blank writable disc, such as a CD-R, CD-RW, DVD-R, DVD-RW, or DVD+RW disc, into your Mac's CD, DVD, or Blu-ray disc burner.

2) Choose "Open Finder" from the Action pop-up menu and then click "OK."

3) Your blank disc will now appear as an icon on your desktop but its icon lets you know that it's a recordable CD or DVD.

4) Drag your audiobook files onto the disc icon until the disc contains all the files you wish to burn to the disc.

5) Open the disc icon and click the "Burn" button in the top-right corner of the disc's window, or click the "Burn" icon (which looks like a radioactivity warning sign) to the right of the disc in the sidebar.

6) Choose a burning speed from the "Burn Speed" pop-up menu, click the "Burn" button, and in just a few minutes your disc will be finished.

NOTE: The above is only meant to provide general guidance based on the Mac OSX and Windows operating system's built-in disc burning functionality. If you have trouble with this process, please consult Apple or Windows technical support for assistance. Unfortunately we are not equipped to troubleshoot third party applications or operating systems.

It is possible that your audiobook download was interrupted when you originally initiated the download process, which is typically caused by wifi or data signal loss. This can result in some tracks/chapters failing to completely download.

If this is the case, simply resume downloading by navigating to the "Tracks/Chapters" screen of the affected audiobook (tap the audiobook image on the "My Library" screen and then tap the menu icon in the upper right corner of the audio player). On the "Tracks/Chapters" screen, locate the track/chapter with the dark black cloud icon, which will directly follow the last successfully downloaded track/chapter, and tap it (the cloud icon) to begin the download process again. Once you tap the black cloud icon, the remaining tracks/chapters will download automatically, as long as you have a stable wifi or cellular data connection.

If the previous step does not resolve your issue, try deleting the audiobook and downloading it again (note your current playback position before deleting so you can easily return to that position once you download the tracks/chapters again). To delete the audiobook, navigate to the "My Library" screen and hold your finger down on the audiobook image until the "Delete Audiobook?" message appears. Tap "Yes" to confirm deletion. After deleting the audiobook, tap the audiobook icon again to restart the download process (make sure your "Filter" setting is set to "Show my entire Library" if you no longer see the audiobook you just deleted).

If downloading the audiobook again does not fix the playback issue, as a last resort try deleting and reinstalling our app (NOTE: Before uninstalling, make a note of your bookmark location(s), for all of your audiobooks, since uninstalling will remove your audiobooks and bookmarks from the device). After reinstalling, log into the app again and you will see your title(s) available again in your "My Library". Ensure you have a stable wifi or cellular data connection and download your audiobook(s) again.

This last step (reinstalling the app) is an extreme suggestion, but based on feedback we've received from some customers, this option actually resolves most issues. There is always the potential (with any app) that something becomes corrupt with the database, and performing a reinstall typically resolves most issues.

iOS:

On an iOS device there are 2 ways you can update our app to the latest version.

1) Open the "App Store" app on your device and choose the "Updates" icon in the lower right of the screen. Once on the "Updates" screen, scroll through the apps list until you see the "Audiobook Store" app and tap the "UPDATE" button to initiate the update.

2) Open the "App Store" app on your device and search for "audiobookstore". Look for our green square icon with black and white "audiobookstore.com" lettering and tap the "UPDATE" button to initiate the update.

Android:

1) If your device is set to receive and install application updates automatically there's nothing you need to do. It will always be taken care of in the background by Android.

2) If your device is not set to receive and install application updates automatically you will receive a message from Google Play informing you when an update is available. Simply follow the prompts to update.

If you are experiencing technical difficulties retrieving your download or playing it on your device please email us or initiate a chat session by clicking on the orange button at the bottom right corner of our website. When contacting us please be sure to include your name, telephone number (if you are requesting phone assistance), order number (if available), and details of the download issue. It is our goal to respond to all email correspondence within 24 to 48 hours. Please note that all purchases of audiobook downloads are considered final.

Often errors can occur in web browsers due to older "cookies" or "offline files" that can conflict with your current browsing experience. As our browsers are continually updated, some of the steps below are subject to change. If you have any questions always consult your browser’s help files for the most up-to-date instructions.

Google Chrome

Click the "Wrench" icon on the upper-right corner of your screen and then choose the "History" option. Look to the top left-hand corner of the history settings window and click the button labeled "Clear all browsing data." The "Clear browsing data" dialogue box will now appear. Please ensure that all items are checked EXCEPT for "Deauthorize Content Licenses." Also, please ensure that "Obliterate the following items from:" is set to "The beginning of time." Next, click the "Clear browsing data" button at the bottom-left corner of the dialogue box.

Internet Explorer 9

Click the cog/sprocket icon located at the top-right corner of the Internet Explorer browser window and choose "Internet Options." Look under "Browsing history" and click on "Delete." Be sure that all items are checked EXCEPT for "Preserve Favorites Website Data," and click the "Delete" button at the bottom of the "Delete Browsing History" dialogue box. Now click "Ok" to exit out of internet options.

Firefox

If you do not see browser options at the top of your Firefox browser window (such as File, Edit, or View) right click anywhere on the top edge of the window and check ‘Menu Bar.’ Next, click the "Tools" dropdown and select the "Options" menu. Click on the "Privacy" option near the top and select the blue link that is labeled "Clear your recent history." Please ensure that all boxes are checked under the "Details" option. It is also important that the "Time range to clear" option is set to "Everything." Click "Clear Now" and OK.

Safari

At the Menu bar, click Safari and go to preferences. Click the Privacy icon, and look under "Remove All Website Data." Look directly below "remove all website data" and you should see "X websites that store cookies and other data." If you have passwords setup on specific sites, write them down for future use. Click "Remove All Website Data," to clear your browser cache and cookies. Close Safari, re-launch, and login to your AudiobookStore.com account.

Here are a few things to try:

1) On the "My Library" screen of the app tap the menu icon at the upper right corner of that screen (it looks like 3 stacked white dots), then tap "Refresh" to sync your library and refresh it with your latest purchase(s). Alternately you can swipe down from the top of the "My Library" screen to refresh/sync your library. Make sure you are connected to either wifi or your cellular data network before syncing. Without an internet connection it is impossible for the app to update.

2) If you still do not see your new audiobook(s) in the list, make sure you have either "(No filter)" or "Not Downloaded" selected from the "Downloaded Filter" options menu, "(No filter)" selected from the "Completed Filter" options menu, and "Purchased Date (newest)" selected from the "Change Sort" options menu. You can find the "Downloaded Filter", "Completed Filter", and "Change Sort" options in the menu that appears after tapping the menu icon in the upper right corner of the "My Library" screen (it looks like 3 stacked white dots).

3) Try logging out and then logging back into the app. This forces the refreshing of the app's database with our servers more thoroughly than a swipe-refresh. To log out, go to the "Settings & Options" screen and tap the green toggle button to the right of your email address under the "Account" section.

4) If the above steps do not work, try deleting and reinstalling our app. NOTE: Before uninstalling, make a note of your bookmark location(s) since uninstalling will remove your audiobooks and bookmarks from the device. After reinstalling, log in again and see your title(s) are now available. We realize this is a somewhat extreme measure, but based on feedback we've received from some customers, this option actually resolves most issues. There is always the potential (with any app) that something becomes corrupt with the database, and performing a reinstall typically resolves most issues.

If you receive the following error message when attempting to login: "The email address or password you entered is incorrect", please ensure that your account email address and password match what you used when you created your account.

Our audiobooks are compatible with PC and Mac desktop and laptop computers, as well as popular mobile devices including all iOS devices (such as iPhone, iPod, iPad, etc) and all Android devices.

For the best experience we highly recommend downloading our Free Apps for Android and iOS devices from the following links:

AudiobookStore App for Android on Google Play

AudiobookStore App for iOS devices on iTunes

Note: Although our app is fully compatible with Kindle Fire, and is available in the Amazon Appstore, the device itself appears to be restricting our app from downloading (as well as similar apps from similar services). However, you may still transfer and play your downloaded audiobooks on eReaders such as Kindle Fire and Nook Color/Tablet by following the manufacturer's recommended method for transferring mp3 files onto the device, or refer to the corresponding guide under the "Download/Sync/Transfer" section of our FAQs for downloading and syncing files using your PC.

Our site is compatible with the most popular web browsers for PC, Mac and Mobile Devices, including Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, Safari, and Mozilla Firefox.

After making purchases with your preferred web browser, you can access "My Library" to initiate a download of a title to your PC or Mac. For mobile devices, we recommend downloading and installing the Free AudiobookStore.com app. Anytime you purchase a new title, the App will detect and make it available to download to your library bookshelf. You can then immediately begin listening to the book!

Note: If you’re not using a cellular data plan you must be near a strong Wi-Fi (Wireless) connection to download books.

You can download our app from the following links:

AudiobookStore App for Android on Google Play

AudiobookStore App for iOS devices on iTunes

When viewing your "Library" find your title and click the "Download" to its right and then choose what type of format you wish to use. After your download is complete if you chose the mp3 option unzip the mp3 files from the zip file(s) you just downloaded.

(Note: you will have to re-download the books in the new format.)

Due to the length of some audiobooks, it is necessary to split them up into multiple downloads. This allows you to start listening to the first chapter as soon as it is downloaded without having to wait for the rest of the book to finish downloading.

Windows PC

To burn an audiobook (or multiple audiobooks) to a CD or DVD in Windows perform the following steps.

1) Insert a blank writable disc, such as a CD-R, CD-RW, DVD-R, DVD-RW, or DVD+RW disc, into your computer's CD, DVD, or Blu-ray disc burner.

2) In the "AutoPlay" dialog box that appears, click "Burn files to disc using Windows Explorer." If the "AutoPlay" dialog box does not appear, click the Windows Start button, then click "Computer", and then double-click your disc burner.

3) In the "Burn a Disc" dialog box, type a name for the disc in the "Disc title" box, click "With a CD/DVD player", and then click "Next."

4) Open the folder that contains the files you want to burn, and then drag the files into the empty disc folder. Note: to select more than one item, press and hold the Ctrl key, and then click the files you want to burn.

5) On the toolbar, click "Burn to disc", and then follow the steps in the wizard. Afterward the selected files will be copied to the disc. When the disc burning is complete, the disc burner tray will open and you can remove the disc.

Apple Mac

To burn an audiobook (or multiple audiobooks) to a CD or DVD in OSX perform the following steps.

1) Insert a blank writable disc, such as a CD-R, CD-RW, DVD-R, DVD-RW, or DVD+RW disc, into your Mac's CD, DVD, or Blu-ray disc burner.

2) Choose "Open Finder" from the Action pop-up menu and then click "OK."

3) Your blank disc will now appear as an icon on your desktop but its icon lets you know that it's a recordable CD or DVD.

4) Drag your audiobook files onto the disc icon until the disc contains all the files you wish to burn to the disc.

5) Open the disc icon and click the "Burn" button in the top-right corner of the disc's window, or click the "Burn" icon (which looks like a radioactivity warning sign) to the right of the disc in the sidebar.

6) Choose a burning speed from the "Burn Speed" pop-up menu, click the "Burn" button, and in just a few minutes your disc will be finished.

NOTE: The above is only meant to provide general guidance based on the Mac OSX and Windows operating system's built-in disc burning functionality. If you have trouble with this process, please consult Apple or Windows technical support for assistance. Unfortunately we are not equipped to troubleshoot third party applications or operating systems.

NOTE: Some MP3 players may come with special software to install in order to transfer files from a PC to the MP3 Player. If this is the case, please utilize the manufacturers software in lieu of the procedures below. Consult their documentation for more detailed information if necessary.

1. Click the "Download & Play on Computer" link to the left of your audiobook in "My Library" to download your audiobook in.mp3 format.
2. Now click the orange "Download" button for each audiobook zip file (some titles contain multiple zip files). Once completed, browse to the "Downloads" folder which will contain your purchase. Unzip the mp3 files from the zip file(s) you just downloaded.
   • On a PC you can access the "Downloads" folder by going back to the Windows Start button and clicking "Documents", then clicking "Downloads" on the far left hand column of the Documents window (if using another web browser besides Internet Explorer, please go to that browser’s respective Download folder) and leave the folder open.
   • On a Mac you can access the "Downloads" folder by clicking on the Finder (desktop), opening a new finder window (tap the Command+N keys at the same time), and choosing the "Downloads" folder under the "Favorites" list in the left column of the window. You can also click the "Go" menu at the top of the screen and choose "Downloads" to open the folder containing your downloaded files.
   • Connect your MP3 Player via a USB cable to an available USB port on your computer.
   • Next, you will receive a Removable Disk dialogue box with some options. Choose the "Open folder to view files" link under General Options. A new "Removable Disk" window will open. Browse to the "Music" folder (if available). Every device will be formatted slightly differently; simply move your audiobooks into the same folder that you would use for a normal music file.
   • Now drag and drop your purchase from the "Downloads" folder over to the appropriate folder and your purchase will be available for listening on your MP3 player.

Log into your AudiobookStore.com account and access your purchased content via the "My Library" link at the top right of our site, using the PC or Mac you wish to download it onto. Find your title and click the "Download" button to the right of it, and then choose your preferred audio format to initiate downloading. Afterward if you chose the mp3 option unzip the mp3 files from the zip file(s) you just downloaded. You can also download AudiobookStore.com audio content to most popular mobile devices as well. See the other guides under the "Download/Sync/Transfer" of our FAQs for full details.

To access the Supplementary or Bonus material that may be included with your audiobook such as pdf files, log into your account using a desktop or laptop computer. Supplementary or Bonus material cannot be downloaded from a mobile device such as a smart phone or tablet, only from a desktop or laptop computer (see below for more details).

Once logged into your account click the "My Library" link at the top of the page. On your "My Library" page click the orange "Download" button next to the audiobook with the Supplemental or Bonus material and save the appropriately labelled files to your computer.

(NOTE: Supplemental or Bonus content cannot be downloaded using a mobile device such as a phone or tablet due to various compatibility considerations between so many different devices. For this reason you will need to use a laptop or desktop computer to access your supplementary files. If you wish to then read or view such materials on your mobile device, check your device manufacturer's documentation related to file compatibility and uploading content directly to the device manually, or use a cloud storage service such as Dropbox to access the content using your device. Depending on the device you're using and the total file size of the material you may also be able to email the file(s) to yourself and access them from your device by opening the file(s) as email attachments.)

It is possible that your audiobook download was interrupted when you originally initiated the download process, which is typically caused by wifi or data signal loss. This can result in some tracks/chapters failing to completely download.

If this is the case, simply resume downloading by navigating to the "Tracks/Chapters" screen of the affected audiobook (tap the audiobook image on the "My Library" screen and then tap the menu icon in the upper right corner of the audio player). On the "Tracks/Chapters" screen, locate the track/chapter with the dark black cloud icon, which will directly follow the last successfully downloaded track/chapter, and tap it (the cloud icon) to begin the download process again. Once you tap the black cloud icon, the remaining tracks/chapters will download automatically, as long as you have a stable wifi or cellular data connection.

If the previous step does not resolve your issue, try deleting the audiobook and downloading it again (note your current playback position before deleting so you can easily return to that position once you download the tracks/chapters again). To delete the audiobook, navigate to the "My Library" screen and hold your finger down on the audiobook image until the "Delete Audiobook?" message appears. Tap "Yes" to confirm deletion. After deleting the audiobook, tap the audiobook icon again to restart the download process (make sure your "Filter" setting is set to "Show my entire Library" if you no longer see the audiobook you just deleted).

If downloading the audiobook again does not fix the playback issue, as a last resort try deleting and reinstalling our app (NOTE: Before uninstalling, make a note of your bookmark location(s), for all of your audiobooks, since uninstalling will remove your audiobooks and bookmarks from the device). After reinstalling, log into the app again and you will see your title(s) available again in your "My Library". Ensure you have a stable wifi or cellular data connection and download your audiobook(s) again.

This last step (reinstalling the app) is an extreme suggestion, but based on feedback we've received from some customers, this option actually resolves most issues. There is always the potential (with any app) that something becomes corrupt with the database, and performing a reinstall typically resolves most issues.

Downloading your purchase(s) to your mobile device while using a built-in web browser is currently not supported as most browsers only download a partial section of your audiobook.

We recommend either installing our free app from the links below for Apple and Android devices, or using the methods outlined in the other guides under the "Download/Sync/Transfer" section of our FAQs for transferring via a USB cable from your PC or Mac.

- If your title has not been downloaded already - tap the cover art to begin the downloading process.

- Note: If you have made a recent purchase and you are not seeing it in the application library, it usually means that the application needs to be refreshed.

- Tap the menu icon (3 white dots) in the upper right corner of the library screen and then choose "Refresh" from the options menu that appears in order to trigger the library refresh function.

- Please also make sure you have either "No filter" or "Not Downloaded" selected from the "Downloaded Filter" options menu, "No filter" selected from the "Completed Filter" options menu, and "Purchased Date (newest)" selected from the "Change Sort" options menu. You can find the "Downloaded Filter", "Completed Filter", and "Change Sort" options in the menu that appears after tapping the menu icon in the upper right corner of the "My Library" screen.

Once you have initiated the downloading process for your desired title, the application will display the track list. The track list contains all of the tracks within the selected book; you may have to scroll down to the bottom of the track list to see the total number of tracks the book contains.

A lighter gray bar will move across a track as it loads; after the track has loaded, you will see the playback time on the right changes from the color grey to solid black. You have the ability to stop a download if you must leave the Wi-Fi network, or if you lack time to finish downloading. Simply tap and hold the book image on your library screen and choose "Cancel Download" from the menu that appears.

If your title stopped downloading when you return to your device, you will be met with a "resume download" alert. In order to continue loading tracks, tap "resume" to return to the track list.

You can play a specific loaded track by tapping it in the track list view. You will see the green playback progress bar displayed within the track that is playing. Press the triple horizontal line button in the upper left of the player screen (or simply swipe left from the right side of the screen) to show the AudiobookStore player.

This is the application’s main player view, where you will have several controls. The controls are described below;

2. Scrolling title name and author
3. Open Tracks/Bookmarks view
4. Fast Forward or Rewind to a specific point in the track by pressing and dragging your finger back and forth. The number on the left is where you are currently at within that track, the number on the right is the total playtime in the track
5. Rewind by the amount of seconds you preset in settings (5 seconds by default)
6. Pause or Play
7. Fast forward by the amount of seconds you preset in settings (5 seconds by default)
8. Return to the beginning of the track or tap twice to skip back to the previous track
9. Skip ahead to the next track
10. Tag a "bookmark" where you are at to come back later. To view your saved bookmarks for your current title, swipe the player to the left and you will see a tab/option for bookmarks

Tapping the settings button...

Tapping on the settings button (the gear shaped icon at the top right of the screen) in the main player view will display various options:

• Change Playback Speed: controls how fast the book will play upon playback.
• Change Skip Duration: controls the amount skipped ahead or back with the rewind and fast-forward controls (5 seconds is the default)
• Set Sleep Timer: this function will redirect you to the sleep timer, enabling you to choose from a list of sleep times.

The playback speed can be increased by tapping the playback speed control. This will increase the speed by half of the original rate to a maximum of 3x times the original.

Tapping the sleep timer from the main player control will redirect you to the sleep timer screen where you will be able to choose an interval of time at which the book will stop playing.

While in the main player, you can bookmark a track by tapping the "Bookmark" control which is located to the right of the settings icon. This is useful if you wish to return to the section you are currently listening to at a later date or time. Bookmarked tracks are accessed in the Bookmark section of the application by tapping the "Bookmarks" tab while in the track list view.

While in the AudiobookStore app, you can always navigate to the navigation list, player (or library), and task list views by pressing on the triple horizontal lines icon at the top left of the app.

Your Navigation list will show the following;

• My Audiobooks
• Podcasts (Free for FlexPass members)
• Help & FAQs
• Settings
• Logout

The application settings enable you to:

• Toggle your mobile data downloading (standard mobile data rates apply)
• Set the default control settings for the main player view
• Playback Speed = Speed your title will play
• Rewind/Fast Forward Duration = rewind and fast forward increments
• View app or podcast tutorials
• Send us a message/review/input/suggestion

Deleting an audiobook from your device - While in your library view, hold your finger down on the cover art of the downloaded title to display the pop up controls and then choose "Delete Book ".

• Deleting a title will erase the downloaded content from your device’s local memory; when the content has been removed, a green and white cloud icon will appear over the title cover art. Once the green arrow appears, tap the cover art to download the title again.
• Note: "Deleting" a book only removes it from the local storage area on your device. Purchased books will always be available in your AudiobookStore.com Library to download at a later date with no restrictions.

While in the library view, you have the ability to filter your books by tapping the menu icon at the top right of the library screen. This will display the "Downloaded" and "Completed" filter options. These are provided for ease of use with large libraries:

• The "Downloaded" filter allows you to either view only books that have been downloaded or not downloaded. To view your full, unfiltered library choose "(No Filter)" from the menu
• The "Completed" filter allows you to either view only books that have been marked as completed or not completed. To view your full, unfiltered library choose "(No Filter)" from the menu

You can also sort your titles in the Library view by choosing the "Change Sort" function from the options menu. This feature allows you to sort by:

• Purchased Date (newest or oldest) : displays your books in order of purchase date (newest to oldest or oldest to newest)
• Title: alphabetizes your titles and display them in A-Z format
• Author: sorts your titles by the last name of the author in alphabetical order

Here are a few things to try:

1) On the "My Library" screen of the app tap the menu icon at the upper right corner of that screen (it looks like 3 stacked white dots), then tap "Refresh" to sync your library and refresh it with your latest purchase(s). This will force the app to "ping" our server for new audiobooks that you've purchased since you last opened the app. Alternately you can swipe down from the top of the "My Library" screen to refresh/sync your library. Make sure you are connected to either wifi or your cellular data network before syncing. Without an internet connection it is impossible for the app to update.

2) If you do not see your new audiobook(s) in the list, make sure you have either "(No filter)" or "Not Downloaded" selected from the "Downloaded Filter" options menu, "(No filter)" selected from the "Completed Filter" options menu, and "Purchased Date (newest)" selected from the "Change Sort" options menu. You can find the "Downloaded Filter", "Completed Filter", and "Change Sort" options in the menu that appears after tapping the menu icon in the upper right corner of the "My Library" screen (it looks like 3 stacked white dots).

3) Try logging out and then logging back into the app. This forces the refreshing of the app's database with our servers more thoroughly than a swipe-refresh. To log out, tap the menu icon at the upper left corner of the screen (it looks like 3 stacked white lines), then tap "Settings" and then tap the orange Logout button on the Settings screen.

4) If the above steps do not work, try deleting and reinstalling our app. NOTE: Before uninstalling, make a note of your bookmark location(s) since uninstalling will remove your audiobooks and bookmarks from the device. After reinstalling, log in again and see your title(s) are now available. We realize this is a somewhat extreme measure, but based on feedback we've received from some customers, this option actually resolves most issues. There is always the potential (with any app) that something becomes corrupt with the database, and performing a reinstall typically resolves most issues.
