Part 3. How to Keep the Audiobooks After Returning

We all know that after returning items, we can't access them anymore, and the returned Audible book is no exception. In case some people want to keep returning Audible books or listen to them sometime later, we suggest a good way --- download Audible books and convert them to MP3 before returning them. If you have downloaded your returned book, the downloaded file still store on your device even though you returned it. So it is a great way to keep credits for several books. But don't return books so frequently.

However, the downloaded Audible files are in protected AA/AAX formats, which means you can only play them on Audible. In this situation, we recommend you install ViWizard Audible Audiobook Converter to help you encrypt and convert AA/AAX to MP3 and other formats at 100X speed. In this way, you are free to play Audible audio titles on any media player or device you want. Also, the converted Audible books are saved locally and you can easily locate them in ViWizard software.
