Calling All Audiophiles: How to Snag Audible Books on Your iPhone Without Summoning Cthulhu (Probably)
Let's face it, carrying around a giant tome to read in public can be a pain. Not only does it look like you're auditioning to be Hagrid in the next Harry Potter movie, but it also makes that whole one-handed coffee situation a nightmare. Fear not, fellow literature lovers, for the magical world of audiobooks awaits! And guess what? Audible, the Everest of audiobooks, can be your iPhone's new BFF. But before you go all Gollum with your precious new device, here's a friendly guide to navigating the Audible app on your iPhone and scoring those sweet, sweet audiobooks without any accidental demon summoning (hopefully).
How To Buy Books On Audible On Iphone |
Step 1: Download the Audible App (Duh)
This might seem like a no-brainer, but hey, even superheroes need to put their tights on one leg at a time. Head over to the App Store and hit that download button. Easy peasy, lemon squeezy.
Step 2: Sign Up or Sign In (Because Sharing is Caring, But Not Your Login Info)
QuickTip: Skim the first line of each paragraph.![]()
If you're a seasoned Audible pro, high fives all around! Just log in with your existing info and you're ready to rock. New to the audiobook game? Sign up for an Audible account and be prepared to enter a world of literary bliss.
Step 3: Credits or Cash? The Age-Old Audiobook Debate
Audible offers two main ways to buy audiobooks: credits or � la carte purchases. Credits are like magic tokens you can use to redeem audiobooks, while � la carte purchases involve good old-fashioned cash (or, you know, digital cash). New members usually get a free trial with a few credits to test the waters, so dive in and see what tickles your fancy!
Here's the Catch (We All Know There's One):
Reminder: Take a short break if the post feels long.![]()
You can't actually buy audiobooks directly within the Audible app. Gasp! I know, right? Talk about a plot twist worthy of M. Night Shyamalan. But fear not, intrepid adventurer! Here's where things get interesting...
Step 4: Safari to the Rescue (Because Every Hero Needs a Sidekick)
Open your trusty Safari browser and head over to the magical land of audible.com. Yes, you can actually purchase audiobooks through the Audible website on your iPhone. Just log in with your account info and browse away!
Step 5: Find Your Next Literary Adventure
Tip: Every word counts — don’t skip too much.![]()
Now for the fun part! Search for audiobooks by title, author, genre, or even narrator (because let's be honest, some voices are just perfect for bedtime stories). Read reviews, listen to samples, and get all hyped up for your next literary adventure.
Step 6: Checkout Time (But No Long Lines Here!)
Once you've found your perfect match, simply add it to your cart and follow the checkout process. It's all pretty straightforward, just like online shopping for, well, anything else.
Step 7: Back to the App, Batman (or Should I Say, Bookworm?)
Tip: Look out for transitions like ‘however’ or ‘but’.![]()
Head back to the Audible app and voila! Your newly purchased audiobook should be waiting for you in your library, ready to be devoured... with your ears, of course.
Congratulations! You've Officially Leveled Up to Audiobook Master!
Now you can strut around town with your AirPods in, pretending you're a secret agent receiving top-secret intel (it's more fun than admitting you're listening to a romance novel). But seriously, audiobooks are a fantastic way to enjoy your favorite stories on the go, and with a little know-how, your iPhone can become your personal audiobook haven. So grab your headphones, settle in, and get ready to lose yourself in a world of words, narrated by the dulcet tones of your choice. Happy listening!
