    They are still bought via iTunes store. If you go to, for example, the music homepage in the store and click on Music above the text links/Quick Links on the right-hand side of the store you should get a popup with one option being Audiobooks e.g.

    On an iOS device running iOS 8.4 there should be a Books / Audiobooks option at the top middle of the screen

    I had the same problem, so good to see that still works.

     

    But here's a question... Why can I not access audiobooks already purchased, via the new system.  And why can I not find the audiobooks I have synced on my phone?  I'm completely mystified by this new change.  Seems to me its change for its own sake.  And I do not like it, because right now I cannot see how its even logical..
