(From Audible Press Release)

Why can I no longer get Audible Escape?
We introduced Audible Plus, our new general interest all-you-can-listen plan, in August 2020. Audible Plus includes titles across multiple genres, including Romance, as well as shorter-form titles, podcasts, and Audible Originals. Audible Plus will be our single all-you-can listen option in the US.
What’s happening to all of the books that are a part of Audible Escape?
After November 1, all titles previously in Audible Escape will be available for purchase with cash or an Audible monthly credit. A selection of titles previously in Audible Escape will also be available in Audible Plus. To view some of these titles, you can browse our dedicated Romance in Plus page.
Will I be able to finish the titles that I’m currently listening to?
You have until November 1 to finish your Audible Escape titles. After that, they will be removed from your library.
Will I still be able to see my Borrow History after Audible Escape ends?
Yes! You will have access to your Borrow History. Click here to see it.
Am I going to be charged for Audible Escape between now and November 1?
No, you will not be charged again after September 16th, but you will still have access to the full Escape catalog until closure on November 1.
What other membership options will I have?
You now have the option of unlimited listening to the Audible Plus Catalog for $7.95/month with an Audible Plus membership. In the Plus catalog you’ll discover a wide selection of exciting content added weekly, as well as a robust, always evolving selection of Romance titles for the avid listener. There’s also Audible Premium Plus for $14.95/month, which includes access to all the titles in the Audible Plus Catalog AND an additional credit per month good for any title on Audible.

Will you add more Romance titles to the Audible Plus Catalog, including all the titles in Audible Escape?
Not all Audible Escape titles will be moved to Audible Plus. However, we’re adding and refreshing our selection of titles in the Audible Plus Catalog on an ongoing basis. This will include new Romance titles as well as titles that were previously in Audible Escape.

Is Audible going to replicate the Escape catalog within Audible Plus?
Not all Audible Escape titles will be moved to Audible Plus. However, we’re adding and refreshing our selection of titles in the Audible Plus Catalog on an ongoing basis. We urge you to continue to give us your feedback on the titles you’d like to see added. That’s because the Audible Plus catalog is always evolving with new titles added weekly.
Will there be an Audible Plus add-on option for Kindle Unlimited (KU)?
At this time, we do not have an Audible Plus add-on option for Kindle Unlimited (KU). However, you can still access the Audible Plus Catalog for just $7.95 a month with an Audible Plus subscription. Click here to sign up for an Audible Plus free trial.
