I want to buy an AudioBook but am unsure from where to purchase it.

Am considering opening an Audible account, OR purchasing the AudioBook within Apple Books. The overall goal is to have my wife and I listen to the AudioBook on our own and am wondering if our Family sharing account will allow for just that. I know apps, music and movies can be shared but am wondering about Audiobooks purchased under the AppleBooks app.

If so, am wondering how to access this, considering I have tons and tons of iBooks purchased from the past 10 years and now wanna start buying AudioBooks cause my wife listens to her books as opposed to me who prefers reading them, but am so down to get audiobooks from Apple Books IF and only IF I can share them amongst my family members.
 
So apparently a purchased audiobook can only be transferred directly on up to 5 authorized accounts at time, just fyi and must be done so without the aid of iCloud....so lame, but possible.
