I'm trying to buy this audiobook as a gift for a 20-year old friend of mine:
The thing is that she doesn't have a Kindle or an Audible account. And asking her to create one to listen to this book will be an inconvenience that I would like to avoid. The same will be if I buy her a CD and expect her to somehow put that audio book into her iPhone.
Any idea where and how to purchase it for her?
You can gift an audio book from iBooks if you have an Apple ID. You don't need access to her Apple ID. Just an e-mail address for her to send the gift code to.
Look for the Audiobook you wish to send as a gift in the iBooks store and use the Gift option to buy it as a gift.
Use the Audible.com site. You will have to set up an account. If you already have an Amazon account, use that. Audible have their own iPhone app called Audible. You could take advantage of Audible's 30 day free trial.
This is what I can find:
Actual Book:

AudioBook

No, I don't have access to her Apple ID. There must be a way to buy an audiobook as a gift, right?
It appears you can buy and give as a gift a CD that can be played anywhere from Amazon without a Kindle account.
Beyond that, the only other Audio Option seems to require an Audible (service) subscription.
You really can't download and listen to an audiobook without haven an account with someone. Does she have an Apple iD? If so, perhaps you can purchase it through iBooks.
Hmm. Thanks, that sounds better. Although, I just checked my iBooks app and I can't seem to find that book as an audiobook. It's "I Will Teach You To Be Rich." Am I looking in the right place?
Gift the audiobook from Amazon!
Yeah, thanks. I saw that option. Unfortunately then she'll need to find a way to play that CD in her iPhone. (Not good.)
