How to Share Audible Books with Family/Friends

Need to share books on Audible? This guide covers different ways to share Audible books with others, including the official solutions and an alternative method.

Part 1. How to Transfer Audible Books to Another Account

If you love your Audible audiobooks but want to transfer them to another account, you might be in for a bit of a challenge. Unfortunately, Audible doesn't provide an easy way to do this, which can be frustrating. However, there are ways to make it happen, even if they require some creativity and a good dose of humor.

To start, you'll need to be on a family plan with the person you want to share your audiobooks with, and you both should have the same billing address. From there, you'll need to call Audible to explain your situation. Once that's sorted out, you'll remove the person from the family plan and likely need to call Audible again to finalize everything. After about 36 hours, all your audiobooks will be transferred to your account.

While the exact steps may vary, this is a great option for families or friends who want to share audiobooks together while keeping things simple and organized.

Option 1: Share Audible Books to Another Account Using Amazon Household

  1. Go to the Amazon Household page to link your accounts. Both users need separate Amazon accounts and must share the same physical address. Click the yellow Add Adult button to start.

  4. Choose Audiobooks along with any other Prime benefits you want to share, such as streaming and free shipping. Click Continue to move on.
  5. invite amazon household

Option 2: Share Audible Books to Another Account Using "Send This Book"

The "Send This Book" feature can help when you want to share an Audible audiobook without going through the Household setup. This feature allows you to send a one-time link of an audiobook to someone else. They'll receive a special link that allows them to access and listen to the book for free, as long as they have an Audible account.

Note: Keep in mind that the recipient will not have permanent access unless they purchase the title or already have it in their library.

  1. Launch the Audible app on your mobile device or visit the Audible website.
  2. Go to your library and find the audiobook you want to share.
  3. Use the "Send This Book" feature:
    • Tap on the audiobook to open its details page.
    • Look for the "Send This Book" option, usually found below the cover art.
  4. Decide whether to send the book via email or text message. Enter the recipient's email address or phone number.
  5. You can include a note to explain why you're sharing the audiobook.
  6. Click Send to deliver the audiobook invitation. The recipient will receive a link to redeem the book.

The person you sent the book to should click the link in the email or text. They'll be taken to Audible, where they can sign in or create an account to claim the audiobook.

Option 3: Share Audible Books to Other Devices Using ViWizard

If the previous methods don't suit your needs or you prefer more control over your Audible audiobooks, ViWizard Audible Converter is a great alternative. This software allows you to convert Audible audiobooks from their original formats (AAX or AA) into popular formats like MP3, M4A, or WAV. Once converted, the audiobooks are no longer restricted by Audible's DRM, so you can play them on any device or app - without needing the Audible app at all.

It's perfect for backing up your collection or sharing audiobooks with friends and family. You won't have to worry about losing access to your titles if you stop using Audible. After conversion, you can easily store or share them via USB, email, or cloud services. Just keep in mind that this method is meant for personal use, and converting DRM-protected content might go against Audible's terms of service.
