Second, Audible may ask you to provide a reason for your return. This is optional, but it can help Audible improve its service. You can choose from a variety of reasons, such as "I didn't like the book," "The narrator's voice was not a good fit," or "I accidentally purchased the wrong book."

Audible's 365-day return policy is a great way to ensure that you're satisfied with your purchase. If you're not happy with a book for any reason, you can simply return it for a refund or exchange. This policy makes Audible a risk-free way to try new audiobooks.
