Without a doubt, listening to audiobooks, especially those that come from Audible, is a better way to collect data rather than tirelessly reading physical books. That’s not to say it’s completely better in every aspect, but it is much more convenient.

As such, it’s natural for people to look for ways to access and share Audible Books for you and for others. And in your case, it would be the latter. But would that really be possible given that Audible has quite a secure platform? Luckily, a new feature was recently created to help you with that, but that’s not all that we’ll talk about.

This article will teach you how you can share Audible Books through the recent feature that we mentioned in addition to a third-party program that is capable of this task. Let’s start with the third-party tool.

Part 2. How do I Share Audible Books with Amazon Household?

Although we mentioned something about not being able to share Audible Books normally, there’s actually a feature that Amazon has recently developed which is the Amazon Household.

Amazon Household: The Basics

As you may already know, when you have an Amazon account and you are a paying subscriber, you can’t transfer your privileges to others, much less share the account. However, that’s about to change.

The Amazon Household feature basically allows you to share the benefits that you have for being an Amazon subscriber to other family members, hence the name Amazon “Household”. And since it can share all benefits, it can also share Audible Books which is technically a benefit as well.

Amazon Household: Members

These “family members” may include your spouse, a partner, friends, which is technically not part your family, and of course the actual family members. However, there’s a system to all of this. Below are the eligible family members that can be included:

Since only those that are labeled as adults can share Audible Books, you need to be the adult on the Amazon Household. However, even teens and children can view shared Audible books, as long as you follow these steps:

  2. Now click on the Accounts & Lists tab on the page.
  3. You will be taken to another page where you need to find a box for Shopping programs and rentals. There, click on the link for Amazon Household.
  4. Now begin adding the member as an adult by clicking on the plus icon on either the Children, Teens, or Adults

Once you’ve added someone into the Amazon Household, they’d be able to read the Audible Books that are available in that account, effectively achieving your goal to share Audible Books.

Part 3. Audible Books Sharing: Send Book via Audible Apps/Websites

Although Amazon Household is one of the recent features that we were talking about, there’s another feature that Audible came up with, and that would be Send this Book feature, and it’s also going to help you share Audible Books.

The Send this Book feature is basically a direct sharing feature that allows users to send the book via different options. Unfortunately, this is only available for Audible customers that within the United States, otherwise, your only real choice is the previous two options.

If you are a US citizen and you want to share Audible Books, there are two ways for you to do so, and that is by doing it through the mobile app or via a browser. Simply put, it’s available for both mobile devices and desktop.
