Listen on a desktop computer

Transfer a book from Windows to a compatible device
AudibleSync is documented for Windows 10 and Windows 11. Audible describes it as an app for downloading titles to supported MP3 and accessibility devices. A title downloaded to the computer through AudibleSync must be transferred to a compatible device to play; downloading it on the PC alone does not make it playable there.
