I also found that with the latest version the action rotor and the ability to flick up or down to delete a book is gone.
I called Audible this morning and reported this, but I think more people need to do this and hopefully also send emails. When I called the customer service number I this time was talking to a lady in Jamaica in a call centre and while she said she would file this I am not so sure how effective that is. Now, here is what I found works: 1. Double tap the top delete button which is to the left of the refresh button. 2. Unfortunately it does not even say that it is activated or selected any more. But if you now check the list of titles by moving your finger to the left of the title (don’t flick, drag it straight to the left of the title) you will find an Edit Mode button. 3. Double tap or split tap this button. 4. Now check to the right of the title on the right edge there is a delete button beside each title. If you double tap or split tap on it after first tapping the edit button you will be prompted to delete the book. Cheryl, could you maybe check once more really carefully which version you have by going to Settings and then look towards the bottom. The most current version is 2.2.1 (351). I currently have quite a few books downloaded, but if you really have this built and the action rotor still works I think I will have to bite the bullet and delete the app completely, reinstall it and then redownload my books to see if this brings back the action rotor option which really was great as far as deleteing books is concerned. Also, just to be on the same page, do you have it set to download the book as one large single download or do you still download in parts?

Device is selected and tapping the delete button merely causes the book to open and start playing. Further more the rotor doesn’t even show me an action option in here.

Flick right and you will hear "delebe button deactivated". Double-tap it with one finger. This activates the delete button but doesn't delete anything. When you flick right again you will come to something that says "delete" with a bookname. When you double tap this it says "remove" and you double tap that.You get an alert "are you sure". Go right to the remove button and double tap it.I think this is the way it has worked for a while now unless we are using different versions. Once you have deleted everything on your device, if you want to do that, the main delete button goes back to deactivated. Otherwise, if you deleted some books but still have some on your device, you will have to double-tap that delete button again to deactivate it. Since you are talking about interacting with the delete buttons, are you using a braille display and/or bluetooth keyboard? If so, it could be a butg so that those are not focussing on the right button. For me, delete is working the same as it has for a while. If it's a problem with a keyboard or display, it might be a bug there instead of with Audible specifically. -- Cheryl I tried and tried to turn over a new leaf. I got crumpled wads of tear-stained paper thrown in the trash! Then God gave me a new heart and life: His joy for my despairing tears! And now, every day: "This I call to mind, and therefore I have hope: The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness."

Something to report to Audible I guess. If anybody else finds a workaround for deleting books that we don't longer one or an old device I am happy to hear about them. Thanks in advance.

Am I missing something ridiculously obvious here or is this now broken? thanks for any clarification anyone can offer here.
