Part 3. Still Keep Audible Audiobooks After Returning
After returning your audiobook, you won't be able to download it again. So what if you want to try it again in another time? Do you have to buy it again?
Usually there is no way to keep Audible audiobooks after returning. This is because the Audible AA/AAX files are combined with DRM protection. With this protection, it is impossible to copy and distribute the audiobooks to other players for playback.
To avoid such problems, you can use the third-party DRmare Audiobook Converter for Windows/Mac to help you transform Audible files to MP3. You can not only keep your books forever, but also listen to them with more players.
DRmare Audible Audiobook Converter
It is not difficult to use the software at all. After downloading the AA/AAX files on your computer, you can import them to DRmare software main screen by dragging and dropping. Then you can select new parameters for the software and click "Convert".
That is it. Pretty easy, right? Finally I want to mention that DRmare software is only for personal use, so don't try to convert the Audible files for selling or making money etc.
