A:

You don't.

 

The audiobook industry does not allow Apple to include them in icloud at all.

    Audiobooks are currently a one-time only download so they won't appear in the Purchased tab/link for re-downloading. You will need to sync them to get them on your other devices - if they are currently only on an iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch then you should be able to copy them over to your computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchase.
