You\u2019re in luck if you\u2019ve ever thought, \u201cI know someone who would absolutely love this,\u201d after listening to a great audiobook: Audible does offer features that can assist you in achieving that goal. But it\u2019s crucial to understand that, depending on the individual, you might not have as many options as you would like to share those recordings for free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Here is all you need to know if you need to share Audible books.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Your only choice now that Audible has discontinued the \u201cSend this Book\u201d feature is Amazon Family Library Sharing:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You cannot share anything from the Audible Plus catalog, and audiobooks can only be shared by adults.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Family Library Sharing feature allows you to share your audiobooks with other members of your Amazon Household. Please note that you can only have up to four children and two adults with separate Amazon accounts in your Amazon Household.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The steps to add someone to your Amazon Household and begin sharing content from your Family Library are as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Most of the time, no. A free \u201cSend this Book\u201d feature was formerly available on Audible, but it was discontinued in April 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, the service does offer a feature known as Family Library Sharing. Sharing Audible (and other Amazon) books with a member of the same Amazon Household is made possible by this. There are a few other limitations as well: you cannot share anything from the Audible Plus catalog, and you can only ever share audiobooks between the two adult members of your household\u2014children or teenagers are not allowed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Even though the \u2018Send this Book\u2019 feature is no longer functional, you can still share books on Audible directly by clicking the share button. Since they can obtain an Audible Free Trial, this method is helpful for individuals who are not Audible members to receive the shared content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The recipient can create a new Audible account to take advantage of the Free Trial and receive one or two credits to purchase your shared book if they don\u2019t already have one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In addition, Audible provides a feature for gifting its audiobooks. If you\u2019re an Audible member, you can use your credit card or Audible credit to buy an audiobook, which you can then give as a gift to loved ones. This feature offers great flexibility for sharing your audiobooks or sending audiobooks as festival gifts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
