Returning Audible Books

Audible is generous to allow a liberal return policy, but this might change if people continue to abuse it. The policy is there so you can buy an audiobook with confidence and know that you can return it if it's not good, and you hate it. It's not there to return it so you can keep your credit after you listen to it.

I've had some returns recently that I'm pretty sure fall into the latter category. It appears someone is listening to a series and returning them. Why would they continue to listen to the same series if they didn't like them? And those books have gotten no bad reviews. It is disheartening to the author and narrator because the sales are removed from their dashboard.

In addition, such a practice is dishonest if the listener enjoyed the book and just returned it to maintain their credits. It amounts to lying and stealing. I hope the policy remains because it is good to know a book can be returned if it's not found to be enjoyable, but I also hope this is how it will be used and not for personal gain.
