Q: I bought and have a  receipt for iTunes audio book, but WHERE IS IT?

Where do audio books download to? Do audiobooks have a separate icon?

    On an iPad it should have downloaded into the Music app - when you have audiobooks on an iPad you will get an Audiobooks option under the More button at the bottom of the Music app.

     

    Note that audiobooks are currently a one-time only download from the store (so they won't appear in the Purchased tab for re-downloading), so you may want to copy it to your computer's iTunes via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases so that you can take a backup copy of it - it should copy over to the Books part of your iTunes library.

    THANX HRH-KP

    Yes, I found it in the music app. However, it appears as a simple play-line across the top of the app box. No problem:it's playable. HOWEVER, I am now wondering where any subsequent such download may reside. I am nervous to buy another audio book in case the first one disappears. Why doesn't it appear in its own little box, like all the other apps?
