Best Way to Share Audible Books with Family (Win & Mac Compatible)
Many services bring family sharing options for people to share their purchases easily. Perhaps you also wonder whether Audible books are shareable with your family members to save more money and energy. The following will solve all your puzzles.
Can You Share Audible Books?
Yes. Audible does bring the family sharing option for people to share Audible books with family members easily. The service is called “Family Library Sharing”.
By joining the “Family Library Sharing” service, you can share your favorite Audible books with the other members who have to join the Amazon Household without a difficult process. However, a limitation of this service should be that those Audible books included in the Audible Plus Catalog are unable to be shared through the “Family Library Sharing” service.
Remove DRM from Audible Books
But an obvious disadvantage of using the “Family Library Sharing” service to share Audible books with family should be the fact that the books can only be listened to inside the Audible platforms. For elders or small children who don’t have a suitable device to install the Audible app, they may fail to enjoy Audible books.
But to get Audible books out of the platform for sharing, a thing we need to do is to remove DRM from them. By getting rid of this protection from the Audible books, the content can be shared outside the Audible platform and people can enjoy the books offline using any device. The only tool you will need is MuConvert Audible Converter, a powerful software program that can help you remove encryption from Audible books and convert them to MP3 for more convenient sharing.
