Audiobooks on one device only?

So I purchased an Audiobook on my iPhone today. I also have an iPad, Macbook and Macbook Pro which it doesn't seem to be appearing on.


I've checked both iTunes and iBooks and my library is empty apart from the free Swift book I downloaded some time ago.

I have also purchased several Audiobooks before that are not appearing anywhere on any of my devices.


My Music, Film and TV all live "in the cloud", so what's going on with Audiobooks?

iPhone 6, iOS 8.1

Audiobooks (and tones) are a one-time only download, they won't show in the cloud - I think that they are all supplied to Apple by audible.com, so I assume that it's them requiring the one-time download.


If you want it on your computers and iPad, then connect the phone to the computer that you sync it to and do File > Devices > Transfer Purchases to copy it over to the computer's iTunes library - you can then copy it to your other computers and sync it to your iPad
