Audiobooks on iPhone 5c

Question

Audiobooks on iPhone 5c

I purchased an audiobook this morning through iTunes on my MacBook and loaded it onto my iPod Classic. Now that I'm not at home with my computer, I've realized that for some reason only part 2 of the book transferred to my iPod. I decided to try to get access to the full audiobook on my iPhone but when I go to iTunes on my phone and look at purchases, it only shows music, movies and tv shows. What am I missing here? Where can I find my audiobook purchases?

iPhone 5c, iOS 7.0.2

You can not re-download audiobooks as you can music.

In future buy your books from Audible.com. They're generally cheaper, and you can redownload them anytime you like. Plus if you use their app you can access chapters. You can't access chapters in the Apple app, which is just a pain.

Aside from re-downloading it, can I at least access it through the cloud and listen to it on my iPhone?

No. You'll need to transfer it using your computer and iTunes.

Also, if you use the audible app you can access any book you've purchased (I have hundreds) at any time on any device or all devices, listen, then delete them, then redownload anytime you want.
