How to Download Audible Books From a Computer Into a Kindle

The Kindle is an eBook reader from Amazon that can play audio books from Audible.com as an alternative to reading the written word. Audible.com employs a utility called AudibleManager to manage downloads and transfer titles to designated devices, such as the Kindle. AudibleManager requires a PC for installation and setup of the Kindle as an authorized device. Mac users need to initially install Audible drivers on the Kindle via Windows (PC or Boot Camp), but can later transfer titles directly from the iTunes library to the Audible folder on a connected device.

      Download Audible books to the AudibleManager Library (if it's new; previous audible books will be transferred to this Library during AudibleManager installation).

    • 7

      Select the Audible file from the Library and click the "Add to Device" button at the top right of the window (make sure your Kindle is highlighted under "Mobile Devices").
      Note: Mac users can download Audible titles in iTunes and copy the files directly to the "Audible" folder on the Kindle (which is accessed as a USB drive when connected).

Tips & Warnings

  • Mac users will need to set up AudibleManager initially on a PC in order to configure the Kindle and set up an Audible folder on the device. After this setup, Audible titles can be downloaded to iTunes.

  • Mac users without iTunes will need to transfer Audible titles from an authorized PC (with AudibleManager installed) to their Kindle devices.
