If you buy from Audible, make sure you download and get rid of the Audible DRM on your purchased audio files. A strange bug has been happening to me. I purchased audiobooks with cash, and these are favorite authors, so I knew I wanted to buy them. I never returned them. But today, Audible is acting as if I never bought them. I can't play them in my library but I can buy them again. #Audible #DRM #Audiobook #Audiobooks

tl;dr don't "undownload" your audiobooks.
I have been peppering Audible for more than a year regarding purchased books no longer available from the app. I have used audible for many years and hiccups and bugs.
I Highly recommend open audio to preserve your books and convert them to m4b style to maintain your own library.
I'm interested in talking to more owners of disappearing purchases and open audible users.
