How to Sync an Audiobook to an iPhone

Use the iPod app on your iPhone to listen to audiobooks.

Listening to audiobooks is a great way to keep up with the latest bestsellers if you don't have time to read a book. Whether it's on the train, at the gym or just relaxing at home, audiobooks keep you entertained while offering a new listening experience with every book. The iPhone supports the Audible format of audiobooks; sync them with your handset using iTunes.

Instructions

1. Connect your iPhone to your PC using the iPhone USB cable. If iTunes doesn't automatically open, open it from the Windows Start menu.

2. Click on your iPhone in the iTunes left sidebar. In the main "Summary" window, tick the "Manually manage music and videos" check box, and click "Apply" in the bottom-left corner.

3. Click "File" and choose "Add File to Library" from the menu.

4. Navigate to the folder that contains your audiobook file. Highlight it and click "Open." Your file is added to your iTunes media library.

5. Click "Books" in the "Library" section of the iTunes sidebar.

6. Click your audiobook in the main iTunes window and drag it to the sidebar. Drop it on your iPhone in the sidebar and it syncs with the phone.
