As part of my move to send a message, no matter how inconsequential, to Amazon, which reduced its diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts, I can report following through on cancellation of Audible.

I started listening to Audible after exhausting available free content of interest on LibreVox back in 2016. I listened to audiobooks on my three hour a day commute to a new job, and it was a lifesaver.

I hate to see Audible go (it has already been deleted) as it was an old friend. But I found an alternative way to listen to books, and it works well.

Here is the email from Audible:
