How to download Audible books on Windows computer?

Did you know?

You can download all of the audiobooks you've purchased on Audible.com from the Library screen on your Audible for Windows 10 desktop app:

1. Open the Audible app on your computer

2. Tap Library from the left navigation menu

3. Locate the title you would like to download and tap the cover art to begin downloading. 

However, from now on, you can’t download purchased Audible books to your computer on Audible.com by simply clicking the Download button like we used to. Then click the .adh file to start downloading the Audible book via Audible Download Manager. But now when you go to my library and click the black download button, it just links you to a part of the site listing all the different audible apps available for every platform, instead of prompting a download. You may feel annoyed by this. So next I am going to show you how to download Audible Books on Windows computer using Audible Download Manager?

If you using a Windows 7, 8 or even 10 OS, first of all, please contact Audible Customer Support to ask them to "updated my download settings" because you can’t download Audible books via Audible Download Manager, next please install the latest Audible Download Manager to your computer. Then go to Audible.com>>My Library and click the download button. Audible Download Manager will open automatically and display the download progress of the audiobook. After downloading your audiobook, it will be playable in the player you chose to import the file to.

So in a word, you can download Audible books to your computer via Audible Desktop app directly if you are using Windows 10 OS or via Audible Download Manager after asking Audible support to "updated my download settings".

Evernote’s Premium subscription dropped in price as many executives depart

Evernote currently has three different monthly pricing tiers: free, Premium for $7.99 per month (which adds up to nearly $100 over a year), and Business for $14.99 per month. So this deal might be worth taking advantage of if you rely on the app. Premium does afford many more features than free — like up to 10GB of monthly uploads and the ability to scan business cards — but there are also several Evernote alternatives now that are cheaper like Google Keep, Microsoft OneNote and others.

Good news is that Evernote is currently offering a sale on its Premium membership, slashing its yearly subscription price from $70 down to a much more reasonable $42. If you’re interested in grabbing the deal, it’s available now on Evernote’s site. It only applies if you pay one lump sum for the annual subscription.

Meanwhile, Evernote has confirmed that in the past month the company has lost many senior executives, including its CTO Anirban Kundu, CFO Vincent Toolan, CPO Erik Wrobel and head of HR Michelle Wagner. The company did not comment on a reason for the departures, but a source close to the matter said that “Evernote is in a death spiral... Paid user growth and active users have been flat for the last six years and their enterprise product offering has not caught on.”
