Hi Sharon.

Rereading your message and as I recall you used to use a book sense, you can 
import the titles you’ve already downloaded straight in to ITunes and 
synchronise your IPhone with it that way, however despite the one negative 
point regarding the sound in the app, the app is the way to go for future 
downloads as it is just so much easier and less hassle.

All the best, Ibrahim.

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.

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
