Sync it from iTunes on your Mac/PC. Multiple downloads may not be available for audio books.


If you purchased an audiobook but it looks like you haven’t bought it in the Book Store, you can find and redownload the audiobook in your previous purchases.


  • If you don't see the Audiobooks icon in the Books app on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, you might need to update to the latest version of iOS or iPadOS, or you might be in a country or region where audiobooks are not available. Learn what's available in your country or region.
  • If you don't see an audiobook that you purchased in your library, you might need to download the audiobook again.
