Here's the Catch (or lack thereof): You Can't Actually Buy on the App
Yes, you read that right. The Audible app is more of a swanky library for your purchased audiobooks. Think of it like a digital bookshelf, but way cooler (and with fewer dust bunnies). So, how do we get our audiobooks then?
Prepare to Be Amazed (by Amazon)
QuickTip: Reread for hidden meaning.
That's right, folks. We're taking a detour to the mothership: Amazon. Here's how this little Audible tango goes:
- Grab Your Safari (or any other web browser you fancy).
- Set Sail for Amazon (type in amazon.com in the address bar).
- Login Ahoy! (Make sure you're signed into your Amazon account, the one linked to your Audible membership).
Welcome to the Island of Books!
QuickTip: Focus on one paragraph at a time.
Now that you're safely ashore, here's the treasure hunt:
- Departments (Tap that little button with horizontal lines).
- Books (Because, well, audiobooks are a type of book, right?).
- Audible Audiobooks (There you go, the promised land!).
Finding Your Audiobook Treasure
Tip: Keep your attention on the main thread.
Use the search bar to find the book that'll tickle your auditory fancy. Once you've unearthed your gem:
 |
- Behold! The Book Details Page (Avast, mateys, there be information here!).
- Look for the Shiny Button (It'll probably say "Buy Now for..." or something similar).
Almost There! But Wait... Do You Have Credits?
Tip: Highlight sentences that answer your questions.
Audible offers memberships with credits, like gold coins you use to buy books. If you have a credit, you can use that sweet, sweet treasure to snag your audiobook. But fear not, landlubber, if you're credit-less:
- The Option to Pay with Yer Hard-Earned Doubloons (There will usually be a button to buy the book with regular money).
Confirmation and Congratulations!
Follow the prompts and confirm your purchase. You'll (hopefully) get a confirmation email, and then you can:
- Head Back to the Audible App (Your newly purchased book should be waiting for you in your library).
- Hit Play and Set Sail on a Literary Adventure!
Bonus Tip: If you ever get lost, the good folks at Audible have a great Help Center with even more detailed instructions [link to audible help center on buying audiobooks].
So there you have it! With these handy tips, you'll be a pro at snagging audiobooks on your iPhone and Audible in no time. Now go forth, and get lost in the wonderful world of audiobooks (just avoid any rickrolls along the way).
