How to Listen to Audible Books on Samsung Galaxy Watch [Step-by-Step Guide]

Part 1. Can I Listen to Audiobooks on Samsung Galaxy Watch?

"Can I listen to audiobooks on my Samsung Galaxy Watch?" It's a question that has left many audiobook enthusiasts wondering. Unfortunately, the official Audible app, widely available on many platforms, has yet to make its way to the Samsung Galaxy Watch. To make matters more challenging, audiobooks formatted in AA or AAX are protected by Digital Rights Management (DRM).

This limitation can be particularly frustrating for those who value the convenience of a smartwatch for their audiobook streaming needs.
