If you’re like most people, you probably listen to audiobooks while commuting or working on other tasks around the house. But if you have a Kindle Fire or any other Kindle device, there’s a good chance that your audible books are visible to anyone who happens to be looking. Here’s how to hide them from view:
- Open the “Audible” app on your Kindle Fire and sign in with your Amazon account.
- Under “My Audiobooks,” select the audiobooks that you want to hide from view.
- On the main menu, under “Settings,” select “Privacy.”
- Under “Audible Privacy Settings,” select “Hide From Home Screen.” This will keep the audiobooks hidden from view on your Kindle Fire’s home screen, but they’ll still be visible in the Audible app and in any other apps that use Audible’s library of audiobooks. ..
If you want to hide them, here’s what to do.
How to Hide Audible Books from the Home Screen
On your Kindle’s Home Screen, tap the three little dots in the top-right corner.
Then, in the pop-up menu, tap “Settings.”
Next, go to “Device Options.”
Then “Advanced Options.”
Then “Home & Library.”
And, finally, “Audible Content.”
Select “Show in Library Filter Only.”
Tap the “Home” button and now, on your Home Screen, you’ll only see Audiobooks if you’ve downloaded them.
How to See Your Hidden Audiobooks
Don’t worry though, if you want to browse all your books from Audible you still can. They just won’t clutter things up by default.
On the Home Screen tap “Filter”.
Then tap “Audible” in the pop-up menu.
Now you’ll see all your Audible audiobooks.
Tap on one to download it. Tap on it again to start listening to it.
Finally, to go back to your regular Home Screen, tap the small “X” to turn off the filters.
