You might still be able to get them through a library audiobook service like Libby? I don’t think exclusivity affects library availability.

My library at least doesn't have any of them - I've tried looking up many that were Audible exclusives. That could be a Canada vs US thing though, not sure.

I’m also in Canada (Banff, Alberta 🇨🇦👋😊). Catalogues do vary enormously. Our local library is part of a large regional library group, so we have a pretty massive audiobook selection. I’ve never checked specifically for Audible exclusives, though.

You know you lose all your books when you cancel. I have hundreds of dollars invested.

So their FAQ says you keep the books you actually purchased (via credits or just paying) BUT unspent credits will disappear, as will anything from Audible Plus. Is that not correct? You just get locked out?

When I tried to cancel, it said I lose it all. If you're locked out, then it's the same outcome, can't listen to anything. 🤬
I reduced it to the cheapest sub.
