Audible deactivation tool

Downloading the latest audiobook purchase from Audible I got the dreaded message that I have too many machines authorized for use with my Audible account. Off to the Audible website to look for the deactivation tool. Using the help and search functions leads to no joy but a recommendation to email customer support. That must have been what I did last time I thought, and sent the email. I get back a note saying it was done and then it goes on to say:

You can always deactivate your account within AudibleManager in the future by simply click here http://www.audible.com/adbl/store/deActivateEntry.jsp and follow the instruction to deactivate your device if you come across this message.

Now I would have loved to have that link come up when I did a search for that very information. And it would have been nice without the little suggestion that I should be able to do this myself in the future. I should have been able to do it myself this time but for the broken website.

Audible.com makeover

Audible.com received a makeover recently. The new site is much more compact. The big difference I noticed right off is a greatly improved download page. It is now possible to initiate multiple downloads from the My Library page. Very nice.

Proving the adage that nothing is perfect the previous My Next Listen feature seems to be gone. Not a big deal with the new plans, but a pain when the list of programs I wanted to hear is now gone. Too bad they didn't migrate it into a wish list or other list.

Update: According to Audible.com tech support the My Next Listen feature will return in the days to come. Good news.
