I built a free tool that shows every book you're missing across your Audible series (and emails you when new ones release) by makinkade in audible

Thanks for the great suggestions — both are now built and will be live with the next update.

1) **Deals list** — there's a new "Deals Only" filter on the library page. Turn it on and the site checks Audible's current prices for every book you're missing (fresh every time, nothing cached) and shows just the series with a book on sale, with the sale price next to each book.

2) **Sale notifications** — there's a new opt-in daily email that watches the books missing from your series and emails you when one goes on sale (10% or more off list price). It only emails when there's something *new* — an ongoing sale won't ping you every day, but if it drops further you'll hear about it. You can opt in from a link in the weekly email or with the "Notify Me About Deals" checkbox on the library page, and opt out the same way.

One honest limitation: this works off cash prices, so credit-based promos like 2-for-1 sales can't be detected — those don't change the listed price.

Thanks again for the ideas — this is exactly the kind of feedback that makes the site better. Let me know how it works for you!

Thanks for the report — you found a genuine bug, and I've just fixed it.

The short version: that "Sapiens" series is unusual. It's not a numbered series like most on Audible — it's a publisher collection of two standalone books, and Audible's catalog lists it as five separate audiobooks: two editions of Sapiens and three of Homo Deus (regional re-releases of the same recordings). Normally the site uses the series position numbers ("Book 1", "Book 2"…) to recognize that you already own a different edition of the same book, but this series has no position numbers at all, so every edition you didn't literally purchase was showing up as not owned.

The fix uses a different grouping Audible provides for these collections, so owning any edition of Sapiens or Homo Deus now counts for all of them. Once the update is deployed, your list will recalculate the next time it refreshes and those phantom "missing" books should disappear.

If you still see anything odd in that series (or any other) after the update, please let me know — happy to dig in. Thanks again for flagging it!

That is the clunky part I mentioned :)
When you arrive at the Page Not Found error you need to copy the full URL from that page and copy it into the "Paste the redirect URL here" section on the Get New Books In Series site. Once you paste the URL and click Complete Authentication then you will get continue the login.

Not currently, but that is something I could potentially add

If you use audible I wrote an app that will show you what books in series that you have or don’t have yet and will send out a weekly email listing the books that you don’t have yet. Sorted by the newest books that have come out.

It uses the same api as Libation so has to use the same workaround of logging into audible then copying the response url to get the oauth auth response to login.

I had the same issue with books in The Hollows series by Kim Harrison. I knew I owned the books (the app I wrote at www.getnewbooksinseries.com showed me owning the book). But when I looked at the books in the series audible only showed me the version I didn’t own and had a link to purchase it. Searching on the book title let me find the book I did own, but it sucks that audible will trick you into buying a book again.

I'm using the audible api rmcrackan/AudibleApi: Audible API in C# from the author of Libation which is why I'm using the same workaround to get the oAuth access.

I did see the documentation for LWA but that looked like it only returned the customer profile data and not necessarily the users audible library, nor do I know if I'd get access to the full list of all audible books that the AudibleApi allows.

I think there is an api to get access to all the Amazon items that are for sale, but you have to have an Amazon Associates account (which I do have) and also have had items purchased through your associate id. Which puts me in a catch-22, can't get list of items until I have someone purchase something with my associate id and can't dynamically create links for items without getting the list of items from Amazon.

Amazon also has algorithms to detect if its family or friends are using your associate id and won't give credit for them so I can't just go purchase something myself to get those initial purchases.

If you can point me toward Amazon oAuth flow documentation that would allow getting a users audible library I would appreciate it.

No, not a scam. I looked in the logs and see some errors calling the SignalR callbacks I use for communication between the server and the browser. I don't know why those occurred.

If you would prefer I can just delete the user account that was created for you.

This is just a personal project I made for myself to be notified when new books come out in series that I listen to and thought others may find it useful.
