Have you installed the FREE Acoustik App? Download it now in iTunes or in the Google play store.
Why do I need an Acoustik account?
The Acoustik account is created for the Acoustik App and is needed to determine the library used for your audiobook purchase. If you already have an Acoustik account, we will link to it for you. If you do not have an account, you will need to create one.
The Acoustik audiobooks I have purchased do not appear in my Library. What can I do?
Check that your username and password are the same username and password you used on to purchase your Acoustik audiobook. They must be identical for your audiobooks to appear in your library.
How can I get help with downloading or listening to my Acoustik audiobook?
Acoustik has customer service representatives available from 9 AM to 7 PM EST Monday-Friday. Please call 1-800-538-1271 for assistance. For general inquiries at any time, email to customerservice@exquirofulfillment.com

From the Bookish.com Sign In page, click on the "Forgot your password?" button to have your password sent to your email address.
If I downloaded other Acoustik audiobooks, will my previously purchased books be available to read?
Yes, if you use the same username and password you have used for other Acoustik audiobooks, your previous purchases will appear in your library.
Does downloading an Acoustik audiobook work on 3G or 4G network or does it require WiFi?
Audiobooks tend to be large files. You can download smaller audiobooks via a 3G/4G connection (20MB or smaller), but we recommend downloading the content to devices using a Wi-Fi connection, simply for speed and to manage your data usage from your mobile carrier.
How long does it take to download an audiobook?
Downloading audiobook content depends on the speed of your Internet connection and the size of the file.
Can I pre-order audiobook titles with Acoustik?
Yes. Acoustik will deliver pre-ordered titles to your mobile device and automatically make them available for download on the release date.
Can I remove audiobooks from my mobile device?
Yes. You have complete control of audiobooks that have been downloaded to your mobile device. You can even archive titles after you have listened to them, so the title is still in your library but removed from the device. The title can be re-downloaded at any time.
Importing books to "My Shelves"
Currently Bookish only supports Goodreads formatted .csv files. Click here to download your goodreads file and save it to your computer.
Bookish will import the books you shelved, the lists they reside on (default and any personal shelves), your book ratings and reviews.
Not all of my books were imported. Why not?
We index all the book information in the .csv file by ISBN13 codes. Sometimes we may not have an ISBN13 code in the Bookish catalog and we will skip importing that book. However, we do flag the skipped books; if the ISBN13 is added later to our catalog, we will automatically add the book to your shelf, along with the corresponding ratings and reviews.
Sometimes though, the Goodreads .csv file doesn't include the ISBN13 for a given book and our importer will then ignore that book and related information. We cannot automatically add that book later if it is missing an ISBN13 code.
Bookish Orders…
