I didn't realize iBooks did audio. I guess if they don't resolve the Audible thing soon, I may grab it from iBooks so I can listen to it on my flight next week.
It's kind of weird that audible doesn't work because iBooks does 99% of their stuff is done through audible. Doesn't make sense.

He told me they are having this same issue with other new books (named the Hunger Games/Mocking Bird Series).

This gives me hope.

We f*cked up UNSCRIPTED ?

Meh. Here's your "Warm regards."

Wait, Hunger Games ain't working either? Better get on it!

MJ mentioned this in TMF about SUCKS Customer service vs S.U.C.S. customer service. Seems like a big opportunity the way companies handle simple issues like these now a days (xfinity/Comcast is worst). I hope this gets resolved soon though.

@MJ DeMarco just bought it today, together with other audiobooks (yes I like to have eBook and Audio due to the fact that I learn a lot more in using both) and guess what! The audible app is not able to download your audiobook. Every other book works for me... they forwarded my ticket to a tech guy. Let's see what will happen.

Dang, I'm so sorry to hear about the problems with Audible. It's beyond pathetic that they dropped the ball as far as timeliness and download-logistics are concerned. Sheesh!

I did want to let you know, that everything worked fine on my PC. I used an Audible credit, downloaded it as usual, and dropped it into my iTunes folder without any issues or delays. It's on my iPod Shuffle as we speak. So far, I've only listened to a couple of minutes, but it sounds GREAT!

I know that's cold comfort, given all the other trouble. But at least you know that some of your readers are having a positive download/purchase experience.

This is great! I am able to download UNSCRIPTED to my Iphone. Now, I can take the long drive home! There is so much rich information in this book that I took 50+ pages of notes when I read it for the first time. The section on how Uber attained exponential growth by skewing value attributes is GOLD and one of my many "aha" moments.

@MJ DeMarco - perhaps you should create a banner for those of us that have also bought the audio version of the book "Listened to UNSCRIPTED "

He had no choice. I wonder how much patience he would have had if Audible was a punching bag in his living room

It actually was an Amazon cardboard box...

I sent a message to them Sunday asking why they haven't got the audiobook available. So, doing my part. I just downloaded the audiobook to my iPhone and desktop so looks like everything is working now.

That was a HUGE moment for me as well. They really changed the entire industry in every possible way. Love this book. Just bought the audible version for car rides!

This is just another "me too" post to say that the download is working normally through the Audible app on the iPhone now. Thank goodness for the Hunger Games. :hilarious:
