Why should You Back up Audible Books?

Audible Audiobooks distributed by Audible.com are DRMed AA/AAX files which can be only played on Audible itself, or on specific apps authorized by your Audible account. Even though you have purchased the Audible books, it doesn‘t mean they are totally owned by you. Due to the DRM protection, you only have the right to listen to the purchased book, but you can’t have the Audible books at your disposal. For example, first and foremost, AA and AAX are not the common audio format, like MP3. So it‘s very inconvenient to play Audible AA/AAX books on mainstream MP3 player or other music apps; Second, you can’t share your Audible books to your best friends directly or without any limitations; Third, if someday Audible website no long exist, so will your Audible books. Why not back up Audible books in case something bad or unexpected happened? In my opinion, it‘s very necessary to back up Audible books in order to take full control of your paid content.

How to Back up Audible Books?

The prerequisite of backing up Audible books is to get rid of the DRM protection. While the most useful to do that is Epubor Audible Converter which can decrypted AA/AAX books as well as convert AA/AAX to MP3 losslessly with the fastest speed.

Step 2, drag and drop Audible books to the main window to convert AA/AAX to MP3.

If your Audible book is an AA file, then you will get a MP3 file after the successful decryption. Because AA file is actually an encrypted MP3 file. But if your Audible book is an AAX file, then you will get a M4B file after the successful decryption. Because AAX file is actually an encrypted M4B file. Next you need to click Convert to MP3 to get decrypted MP3 file.

Tips: Epubor Audible Converter can only accept AA/AAX format, so don‘t try to drag and drop the decrypted M4B file to Epubor Audible Converter. When converting AAX to MP3, all you need to is add the AAX to Epubor Audible Converter, then click Convert to MP3 after the successful decryption.

Google Launches its Own Podcast App— Google Podcast

Have you read the news that Google introduce a new standalone podcast app for Android on 20 June, 2018?

This app is a good start, but is missing some key features. The UI is nice and new, the podcast search and discovery is very good and I imagine that it will only get better as it learns more about your interests, and in general it's a pleasing app to use. However, it is missing a couple of major things such as Chromecast, podcast queues, and playlists of any kind. Until these features are added, it's going to be a bit of a deal breaker for me.

Google says: Google Podcast will use Google’s recommendation algorithms in an effort to connect people with shows they might enjoy based on their listening habits. While podcasts have previously been available on Android through Google Play Music and third-party apps, Google says the company expects Podcasts to bring the form to hundreds of millions of new listeners around the world.

In the coming months, Google plans to add a suite of features to Podcasts that are powered by artificial intelligence. One feature will add closed captions to your podcast, so you can read along as you listen. It’s a feature that could be useful to people who are hard of hearing or for anyone who is listening in a noisy environment.

Now Google Podcasts is a new way for Android users to discover and listen to the world’s podcasts. You can subscribe to any show for free and download episodes for offline listening. All your listening is automatically synced across devices so you can pause on one device and resume on another with the Google Assistant. Aren't you excited about this terrific news？

Who will Win World Cup 2018?

The World Cup 2018 is in full swing and some of the best players in world football are gracing the stage in Russia.

With 32 teams taking part it can be difficult to predict a winner, but some teams are inevitably better equipped than others when it comes to personnel. However, at every major tournament there is always room for a dark horse to upset the established order.

As of today, let's review the score. Despite failing to win their opening game against Switzerland, Brazil remain the favourites to lift the trophy according to dabblebet. However, the reigning champions Germany have taken a hit following their shock defeat to Mexico in their opening match. Cristiano Ronaldo's first World Cup hat-trick helped Portugal to a 3-3 draw with Spain. Though Iceland record their first-ever World Cup point after coming from behind at the Otkrytie Arena, Lionel Messi missed a second-half penalty as Iceland secured a famous 1-1 draw with Argentina.

So many unexpected things happened. Which team do you think will win the World Cup 2018? If you successfully predict the result, you will get a 100 days free license for Epubor software. This campaign will end on June 30, 2018. Come on and leave the comment below.

Amazon Forbid Australian to Buy Digital Content on Amazon.com

On May 31, 2018, Amazon announced that they will no longer allow Australians to buy digital content through Amazon.com and are forcing everyone to use the dedicated Australian page. Hundreds of thousands of customers will lose access to their ebooks on July 1st because Amazon does not allow customers to transfer Kindle purchases from one country to another.

Amazon no longer allowing Australian shoppers to buy digital content through its main Amazon.com website will be a serious blow to people who purchased ebooks legitimately. The Kindle platform is only attached to a specific account with one of its websites. If you have accounts through both Amazon.com and Amazon.au, you can only register an app or a Kindle through one account. This means you have to choose one store or another. If you purchase 50 books from the Amazon.com, you will only be able to read those books and will not be able to buy new ones. If you want to start doing business with the Australian Kindle store, you won’t be able to read any of your past purchases anymore.
