Once you’ve downloaded an audiobook file from us, you’ll need an application to play it. There are many applications that you can use to play audiobooks, but we have a few free options that we recommend:
iOS (Mobile device)
Android (Mobile device)
Desktop or Laptop Computer (PC or Mac)
iOS (Mobile device)
- Once you’ve downloaded the audiobook file from BookBaby Bookshop, it will be in the files application of your device – either in the “Downloads” folder, or in a folder specific to the application you used to download the audiobook (Chrome or Safari, for example). To open these folders, just tap the Files icon, then navigate to the appropriate folder to find the audiobook file.
- Move the audiobook file into whichever file you’d like to store your audiobooks by tapping and holding on the audiobook file, and then tapping on Move in the dropdown menu.
- Download the BookPlayer app from the Apple App Store. Install and open the app on your device.
- Tap on the “+ Add” button, then tap on Import Files.
- A window will then open where you can browse your folders. Navigate to the folder which contains your audiobook file and tap the desired book file.
- An Import window will then be displayed with the title of the book that you selected. Tap Done in the upper right-hand corner to import the file into the app.
- Once the audiobook file has been imported, you can simply select the book from your library in the BookPlayer app and play it.
- Enjoy!
