===Alleged enrollment of Amazon customers===

''Main ~~article:'' [[~~Amazon sued for enrolling and charging customers into Audible without consent]]

{{Main|Amazon sued for enrolling and charging customers into Audible without consent}}

Amazon, and Audible by extension, is currently under a pending class-action lawsuit due to allegedly enrolling Amazon customers into the Audible subscription without permission. This is possible due to Amazon's [[forced retention of payment methods]] in which the company holds customers' card information for "faster checkout."

=== Encouraging AI use ===

Audible openly encourages AI use with the understanding ding that indie authors who self-publish may rely heavily on AI for content generation and book quantity. This leads some to speculate that Audible is diluting the pool of author royalties.
