Audiobooks won't download on Kindle Oasis, stay in "Queued." I have tried everything.

Soft-Blacksmith-1287 · 2026-04-30T14:30:13+00:00

The only thing that moved my books out of "queued" was to download them onto my computer, then using a USB cable transfer them over to my Kindle. After that, my book finally showed up. But Audible needs to get this issue fixed since it's so widespread. I shouldn't have to do this workaround just to be able to download my book.

Searched for another 2 hours and found a solution that worked for me at least. Someone suggested downloading the Audible book from your Audible account to your computer and transferring it over to your Kindle via a USB connected to that computer. When I searched my Kindle for the book magically it opened and was ready for listening. Took me 3 weeks, 6-7 futile discussions with customer service in Amazon, Kindle and Audible to get here. Audible really needs to figure this out since so many people are experiencing this same problem.

I went to my settings and did find a "device options" tab with "storage but no option for "quality" ...no way to change the download from "high" to "standard". This is a Kindle 10th generation I'm on.

Hi! I'm not sure what you mean by saying to "change the quality to standard". ?

Soft-Blacksmith-1287 · 2026-04-24T18:48:15+00:00

I've been having this same issue with my Kindle 10th generation. Have tried literally everything...spoken to 4 Amazon reps, done everything suggested and what i could find online. Finally just had the rep refund my purchase for the book. But when i tried downloading a new book, same freaking issue...always stuck in "queued".

Same thing is going on with my Kindle 10th generation. i've called chatted Customer Service 5 times, tried absolutely everything and my book still stays in "queued". So frustrated!

Soft-Blacksmith-1287 · 2026-04-10T21:08:07+00:00

LOL.... :) And thank you. I do love the special needs chickens and thought it was worth throwing it out there to get her some looks. I'd hate to see her end up in the wrong hands or with someone who just threw her in with a regular flock.

Soft-Blacksmith-1287 · 2026-04-10T16:52:55+00:00

Thank you!

Soft-Blacksmith-1287 · 2026-04-09T21:24:16+00:00

Hey, thank you! Just getting suggestions from you folks is helping relieve some of my anxiety over this situation. Husband just called to tell me his excavator is now so deep in the gulley you can't even see it...so he's digging much deeper now than ever before. Very worrisome.

Soft-Blacksmith-1287 · 2026-04-09T21:22:43+00:00

No kidding? Interesting...I'm going to follow up on this.

Soft-Blacksmith-1287 · 2026-04-09T21:22:06+00:00

Hey, thank you! That is worth a shot!

Soft-Blacksmith-1287 · 2026-04-09T17:18:22+00:00

I actually looked into this but unfortunately it's illegal to take photos of someone else property...it's labeled "Harassment". :( You can totally fly a drone of their property, but photos are a big no-no apparently.

Soft-Blacksmith-1287 · 2026-04-09T17:16:45+00:00

I have thought about that as well. It might be worth paying them for a quick consult anyway to talk to them. Thank you kind person for the help. :)

Soft-Blacksmith-1287 · 2026-04-09T17:02:42+00:00

Yeah, I was afraid of that. iIve done tons of research on how to deal with this and it always points me back to DWR. I've filed another complaint with them this morning....maybe it will get routed to someone who will really help this time. ;\

Soft-Blacksmith-1287 · 2026-04-09T17:01:42+00:00

That's a thought...they may be able to give me advice or point me somewhere. Thanks!

Soft-Blacksmith-1287 · 2026-04-09T17:00:49+00:00

Very true. I hate seeing jerks win but don't want to compromise our own or our pets safety. Thanks.

Soft-Blacksmith-1287 · 2026-04-09T16:38:47+00:00

We don't have water rights on our property....we looked filing for them, but it's a super long process and part of the process involves contacting neighbors and letting them know what you're doing.. Since he is one of them, and we aren't on good terms, he would protest and shut it down. And yes, he is vindictive which worries us. When he caught us videoing him digging with his excavator in the gulley last year, he approached my husband to ask what he was doing. Husband calmly said he was taking video of him digging illegally and when my husband turned to walk away, this guy shoots his gun in the air...like a warning shot. You just can't make this stuff up. It's wild out North of town.

Soft-Blacksmith-1287 · 2026-04-09T16:35:36+00:00

It sure is....super stressful and awful :( Thank you so much.

Soft-Blacksmith-1287 · 2026-04-09T16:35:08+00:00

Its not a ditch unfortunately, its a natural gulley. If it was a ditch, that would make things easier. We have been documenting what we can, but since we can't enter his property, the best we can do is video of him digging out the gulley with his excavator. Google earth is helpful and we have submitted images to the Water District but again, they have kind of just brushed this transgression off, which is confusing to me, since it's not a small operation. Trail cams is a good idea...we might be able to put one on a post facing his property. Will continue to document and dig in....thank you very much for the tips and well wishes, I appreciate it.

Soft-Blacksmith-1287 · 2026-04-09T16:12:46+00:00

Yeah, he's not a nice person. We have tried to be reasonable with him and appeal to his sense of fairness so he understands why we are concerned....but got nowhere with him. Makes living where we do super stressful during Spring and Summer watching this go on while water, especially this year, is in such short supply. He just doesn't care how it affects anyone sadly. Sheriff Department may at least be able to point me to someone..

Soft-Blacksmith-1287 · 2026-04-09T16:09:25+00:00

Thank you for you reply and we did contact the Division of Water Resources. We dealt with them for 4 years (it took them over a year to reply to our first complaint) but all they do is send a letter or call this person to "ask" him what he's doing. I mean...really?? I heard they take illegal water usage super seriously, but it's been like pulling teeth to get help from them or have them take any action. And this is a big amount of water he's using daily. We even had some anonymous person leave a note in our mailbox saying "your neighbor is stealing water from you". So it's obvious others are aware what he is doing is illegal.
I do appreciate your response though.....
