How to Download and Listen to Audiobooks on Kindle Paperwhite
While all Kindles include text-to-speech narration powered by Alexa, you can’t purchase audiobooks on older Amazon e-readers. You can, however, transfer purchased Audible books to older Kindles using Audible Manager for PC and a USB cable. Amazon has a list of Kindles that natively support audiobooks.
Amazon Fire tablets also allow you to sideload audiobooks from outside the Audible store.
Amazon Audible is built into all Kindles that can read audiobooks. Just look for the Audible tab in the Kindle Store to browse thousands of available titles. When you download a book that supports Audible, you have the option to add professional narration for a discounted price. When you buy audiobooks on one device, you can download them on any Kindle registered to your Amazon account.
