Hi Sharon -
As Ibrahim has pointed out, you can use both these methods. If you import using
Itunes, then your titles will be found under Music on your IPhone [or at least
this is the case with the IPod Touch, and I've no reason to think the phone to
be different in this. So, you'd need to select Music from the home screen, then
double tap the 'more' button, and near the top of the screen you'll see 'Audio
Books.' Double tap this, and then you should see 2 choices, Audible [where it
will tell you how many books are in that folder, and 'audio Books' which will
probably show up as 0 books, unless you've imported from another source.
Ibrahim has told you how to access the Audible app, so just to say in respect
of your other question, both the Audible app, and the 'audio books' folder
under 'music' allow playback resumption from where you left off.
HTH -

Many thanks, that is most helpful.
I was slightly unsure as to whether I could download books straight on to the
phone, or put them across via itunes.

Hi Sharon.
The whole point of the Audible app is that it allows you to download and
listen to your audio books without having to first synchronise with ITunes
after the fuss of downloading your books to your PC. When you first launch the
app, you should be asked to log in so enter your user name and password as used
on the Audible site. You’ll then be presented with your library of books.
Downloaded and not downloaded give you complete lists of your audible bookshelf
according to whether those titles are downloaded to your IPhone or not, and
audio books, performances etc. are self explanatory. Go in to your Not
Downloaded category and every book you have purchased will be there ready for
you to download. Make sure your connected to Wi-Fi, then double tap the title
of your choice and it should begin to download. Once a sufficient part of the
audio book has downloaded that it can play (usually a few seconds), the
progress indicator will turn in to a play button and you can start listening.
I’ll leave you to figure out the player screen on your own for now, but give me
a shout if you have any other difficulties. You night also want to have a look
at the settings so you can customise the app to your liking. I’d like to
mention just one thing. For some reason all Audible books played through the
app are Mono only, even when enhanced quality is selected and downloaded. I’ve
commented on this many times both on here and directly to Audible, however as
yet they haven’t done anything to rectify the situation, nor indeed have they
even bothered to recognise the issue, so for the time being, if you want to
listen to books that sound their best in stereo, you’ll need to download and
synchronise your titles using ITunes.
All the best, Ibrahim.

Subject: [access-uk] Iphone and Audible
Hi,
First of all, may I apologise for all my enquiries we the Iphone.
I now would like to be able to play audible books on my Iphone. I was
advised by a friend to get the audible app, which I have now downloaded to the
phone, but am unsure as to where to go now.
Do I need to download my audible books again, or can I put them over from my
pc, where they are already downloaded.
Also how do I then make these books play, and then continue where I left off
the next time I play the book.
Any other help with using audible and the Iphone would be appreciated.
Thanks.
Sharon
