I have an IPad Air which I have recently updated to IOS 12.0. At that time, I noticed that numerous audiobooks were no long visual in my library. How can I get them back? I have my recipes for the purchases.

Same problem here. First the audiobook titles (all from Audible) showed up, but would not play (I was in airplane mode at the time). Then when getting out of airplane mode, my iPhone 6 (IOS 12.1.2) shows no audiobooks, despite iTunes showing them all and claiming it synced them to my phone. Unbelievably annoying. I got past it my using the Audible app instead of Apple's book App, though it had to redownload everything. so now they are likely there twice with one copy hidden in some way just taking up space.
Tim Cook lowers forecasts of iPhone sales and says it's due to fewer upgrades from battery replacements, China's slowdown and trade tensions with China. Of course it could not possibly be that folks are becoming fed up with the ever growing list of sw problems.
It used to be that this sort of thing didn't happen (at least often) as Apple controlled all the software. Now it happens because Apple wants to control if not provide all the content too. What a surprise that this issue doesn't happen for books purchased from Apple.
I have the same issue. I get audio books from the library, RIP them to my Mac and upload to my iPhone XR. After finishing a book, I deleted it from my device and the other 20 audio books on my device were deleted as well. I went back and re-synced the books from my Mac and all was well. Listen to the next book, deleted it and the rest of my audio book library was deleted again. However, when I connected the XR to the iMac to re-sync the audio books the iMac said the XR iPhone couldn't read. Now I'm trying to figure out how to get my audio books back onto my device.
I have lost numerous audiobooks after the newest update? How can I get them back?
