Why isn't my audiobook at one of the retailers I selected?

Edited

There are several reasons your audiobook may not appear at a selected retailer:

  • The retailer may have declined or filtered the title. Voices by INaudio delivers your audiobook to the partners you select, but each partner decides which titles to make available based on its content policies, technical requirements, territories, and business models.

  • The title may still be processing. Most titles become available within 2–6 weeks, although timing varies by retailer and may occasionally take longer.

  • The retailer may not have a publicly searchable catalog. Library and subscription services may require a patron or subscriber account to view available titles.

  • The title may not meet a retailer-specific requirement. Known restrictions are outlined below.

  • There may be a distribution issue. If enough time has passed and your title meets the retailer’s requirements, contact us at voices-support@inaudio.com.
