I don’t know, there are a lot of legitimate reasons a listener may want to return an audiobook.
Or you thought you were getting a book about vampires, but instead you got a nature book about Transylvania. Especially if you as the listener clicked to listen to a sample and accidentally redeemed your credit. If you don’t like the book for whatever reason you can return it, no questions asked, so you can listen to another book. One of their many listed benefits is that you can use your monthly credits that you get from this subscription to listen to any audiobook in their catalog. For years Audible has been advertising their subscription to avid readers and listeners. Or you may be boiling mad with Audible and their policies. So, why would I ever want to do that? Well, for starters, you may want your audiobook available on Google Play, or, or through a library, or anywhere that isn’t Amazon, Audible or Apple. So the difference in royalty rates is pretty tempting to go exclusive. (Also, 40% is still a crappy royalty rate, but that’s not why we are here today). You get a 40% royalty on your audiobook if you are exclusive, compared to 25% if you are not exclusive. While it isn’t the same as Kindle Select with special deals and promotions if you are exclusive with ACX you get a higher royalty rate on your books. This gets your audiobook out to Audible, Amazon, and Apple.ĪCX, much like other Amazon Self-Publishing programs, incentivizes exclusivity. This is the audiobook self-publishing platform for Amazon.
ACX stands for audiobook creation exchange.
