It is possible but you’ll have to set it up properly. We’ll discuss how to move Audible books to iCloud in detailed steps in the next sections. For now, we’ll explain things further about Audible and iCloud. Audible is an Amazon company while the iCloud service is Apple’s.

They are two different American companies, but like other companies, have started to merge some of their services with certain limitations.

Due probably to surveys or requests by people, Apple and Amazon have lightened up sharing restrictions of their content with each other. That is why the Books app in the Mac while iTunes in the PC can now play audiobooks from Audible.

This is a huge advantage for audiobook enthusiasts that are both Apple and Audible enthusiasts.

There are actually shortcomings to these shared services as the two companies would not be able to share all their streaming resources. It seems that you’ll have to download the audiobook content first from Audible before you can import it into iTunes or Books App.

With this restriction, we’ll find ways on how to circumvent this issue by using the Cloud. The next section will be discussing specific details on how to do this including a very useful third-party app that you can use for this purpose.

We’ll be doing this using iTunes Match. iTunes Match is an iCloud service by Apple in which we’ll be able to upload our personal songs or audiobooks in iCloud. This service was made by Apple so as to “match” certain songs that we already have to the huge music collection library that Apple already has in iCloud.

In case they find a “match” then they’ll use the music sourced from their iCloud library instead of your personal song. This has an advantage in that the quality of the song may be better in Apple’s library compared to yours. If a match has not been made then they would just use your source instead.
