| How To Purchase Books On Audible Iphone |
Why Can't I Buy Audiobooks Directly in the App, You Ask?
This is the million-dollar question, folks. The answer? Because reasons. Maybe Audible is playing hard to get, like that one crush you never worked up the nerve to talk to in high school. Whatever the reason, you can't just hit a giant "BUY NOW" button within the Audible app. Don't worry, though, this doesn't mean you're stuck listening to kazoo covers of your favorite songs on repeat (although, that could be an interesting social experiment).
QuickTip: Skim for bold or italicized words.
Enter Your iPhone's Most Unlikely Hero: Safari
Yes, you read that right. Safari, the browser that relentlessly throws unsolicited notifications your way, is about to become your best friend. Here's the plan:
QuickTip: Don’t just scroll — process what you see.
-
Boot Up Safari: Tap that little compass icon and bask in the glory of a non-incognito window.
-
Amazon Awaits: Head over to the Amazon website. Remember, Audible is owned by Amazon, so it's like going through the back door.
-
Search Like a Boss: Type in the name of that audiobook you've been eyeing (or that celebrity memoir you can't resist). Remember, specificity is key. Don't just search for "space opera," you might end up with an opera about dentists in zero gravity (not that there's anything wrong with that).
-
Audible Bliss or Bookish Blunder? Once you find your desired audiobook, check if the little "Audible" logo graces its presence. This is your green light to audiobook paradise.
-
Purchase Power: Here comes the fun part (or the terrifying part, depending on your bank account balance). Click the glorious "Buy Now" button and follow the familiar Amazon checkout process.
Congratulations! You've successfully wrestled the iPhone and emerged victorious, audiobook in hand (well, virtually).
QuickTip: Don’t ignore the small print.
Now You're Ready to Rock Your Audible App!
Head back to the Audible app and log in. Your newly purchased audiobook should be waiting for you in your library, ready to be devoured by your eager ears.
QuickTip: Focus on one line if it feels important.
Bonus Tip: If you're an Audible newbie, be sure to check out their free trial to snag a credit for a free audiobook!
So there you have it, folks! Now you can ditch the kazoo covers and lose yourself in the wonderful world of audiobooks. Happy listening!
