I bought an audiobook at Audible and I can transfer it to the IOS Audible app.
I can also transfer the file to my Windows 10 PC and listen using iTunes.
I will however not listen using my PC but only my transportable devices.
The reason for transferring the file to the PC is only for backup.
But how can I transfer the file from my PC to an iDevice? The audible app does not appear as a file recipient in iTunes.
I have also bought an IOS app MP3 Audio Player Pro. It can receive audiobooks via iTunes and a cloud drive, but can not handle Audible books.
Any suggestions on how to use the audiofiles in a manner like the ebook files?
TIA

On the mac, you can transfer audiobooks to your iDevice via iTunes. I'm not sure how iTunes works in Windows land, but look to see if books is a file recipient. You can listen on the Books app, or audible will see the audiobooks in the iTunes tab (the tabs in audible are cloud, device, iTunes). On the mac, once you have audiobooks loaded in iTunes, in addition to music, TV, Movies, you get an audiobook table on the sync screen. You can select the audiobooks you want to copy to your iDevice that way. I assume that the Windows version of iTunes is the same way.
The way I do audiobooks with audible is I download the files to my mac and put them in iTunes. I then remove the DRM and convert them to mp3 files for backup purposes. On my iDevice, I download the audiobooks that I plan to listen to via the audible app. I normally have about 5 or 6 books downloaded at a time.
If you wish to listen to an audiobook as an mp3, you need to add the mp3 file to itunes, mark it as an audiobook and mark it as remember the place.
