Apps Audible Books

[Titus]

I'm interested in the Apple Watch. Can you download audible books and listen while working out. I don't listen to much music and prefer books.

Nope
[doublepost=1509527797][/doublepost]I suppose if you really wanted to go to the trouble, you could buy the audible book, download a copy on your computer, Rip it to cd, reimport it to iTunes as an mp3/aac set of files, save it to a playlist and sync the playlist to your watch, but that’s the only way I know to do it

The other problem is that AW does not remember where you stopped listening!

If you have a library that uses Overdrive, you can transfer the audiobooks to iTunes and then sync to phone/watch. They will however be fairly long tracks, representing mp3 file (1hr or so long), so if you pause and don't change the track you can restart in the same place, otherwise you are back to start of that track. Or pick it back up on the phone app, that has more flexibility. Not very convenient, but on the other side you can be phone free for many activities, so in my opinion it pays off.

Also here is a link to audible, looks similar but I have not tried yet

Thank you. I went ahead and ordered. I'll probably subscribe to the music service and need to reorganize my iTunes play lists, too.

Do you think an Audible app might be on the horizon for AW3? Probably not given how Amazon and Apple don't play well together.
