If finding a cozy nook and putting on headphones is your idea of a good read, you’re probably familiar with Audible, Amazon’s subscription audiobook and podcast service. If you sign up for Audible, you get a free trial to experience the world of the oral story. It’s also worth noting for those who are interested that Audible offers free books for your listening pleasure.

But, let’s be honest, our grandiose audiobook plans don’t always go as planned. Finally, cancel your Audible subscription before the free trial expires. Whether you’re a new listener or a long-time listener who isn’t getting the most out of your subscription, canceling an Audible membership from the desktop site is simple.

Simply removing the Audible app from your tablet or smartphone will not result in the termination of your subscription. Similarly, terminating your subscription is much easier on a PC, but you can do so from your tablet or smartphone as long as you use the smartphone’s web browser.

Here’s how to suspend an Audible subscription.

Reasons to Terminate an Audible Subscription

For audiobook fans, Audible has a lot of advantages. However, there may be some personal drawbacks for you as well. One of them could be your primary reason.

• You dislike Audible’s recommendation system because it does not surface titles that you require.
• The purpose of utilizing the app has been modified and is no longer in need. 
• When you read instead of listening, you understand more.
• There are less expensive options for Audible audiobooks.

Your reason may not be on the list above, but Audible makes it simple to cancel a subscription with a few clicks.
