Listen to audiobooks
When you can’t read — for example, when you’re driving or if you have a visual impairment — you can listen. With Apple Books, you can listen to audiobooks you purchase or download from the Audiobook Store, along with your purchases from Audible.

Pick up where you left off
Read a book or listen to an audiobook in Apple Books on your iPhone during a flight, then later at your hotel, pick up where you left off on your Mac — iCloud keeps track of your place so you don’t have to.
