This article highlights the path to play your desired audiobooks and podcasts on Roku via the Audible app.
Steps to Screen Mirror Audible on Roku
The Audible app provides you with access to a wide range of audiobooks, podcasts, and other audio content. But it’s not available directly through the Roku Channel Store. To enjoy Audible on your Roku-connected TV, use screen mirroring from a compatible device, such as your smartphone or PC. Additionally, you’ll need an Audible subscription ($7.95/mo) to access the content, which offers you monthly credits for audiobook purchases and discounts on additional titles. You can visit the Audible website to explore membership options and browse their extensive library of content.
