Ways to listen audiobooks and read a book at the same time?

Since I updated to iOS8.4, all my audiobooks went to iBooks App. That, I understand.

I tried to play audiobooks and reading a book in iBooks App at the same time, it doesn't seem to work both ways.

Is there any way to listening audiobooks and reading a book at the same time?

When my audiobook files was in Music App, I had no problem like this.

Now, I can't enjoy listening and reading a book simultaneously anymore. 😢

iPhone 6, iOS 8.4

Hi nk95,


I was able to use Bookmobile pretty well. Audible, however, works best for me (in my opinion, the Audible app interface is sleek and user friendly) . Both of these apps allow you to play the audiobooks in the background (like music). These audiobooks can either be those purchased through iTunes or elsewhere, as long as they are on your device. To use Audible, however, you need to have/create an Audible/Amazon account, whereas Bookmobile does not require you to create an account. Both apps are free to use. Here are the links, hope it works out for you too
