Audible listeners might run into problems like this when they want to play audiobooks on PS4, there's no such thing to integrate Audible with the device. Some people will use the browser to play Audible books, but since you cannot run a browser in the background when gaming, this is still not a good idea.

But today I'm going to show you how to play Audible on PS4 and listen to audiobooks while you're gaming, which is certainly getting you a pleasing gaming and listening experience.

Play Audible on PS4 through Web Browser

Although there's no Audible for PS4, you can still access Audible audiobooks on audible.com through your PS4 internet browser.
