You can share your Audible Audiobooks with the help of these four methods,

Family sharing is an option where users can share their Amazon Prime & Audible benefits with other members of their Amazon Household.
If you don’t know about the Amazon Household, then it’s a free feature where users can add their family or friends through an Amazon Household account to enjoy Amazon Prime, Audible, and other benefits together.
From the perspective of Audible users, it means that you can share your Audible books with other members of your Amazon Household.
Note: Users can’t share titles that come under Audible Plus Catalog with the Amazon Household.
What Is Audible Plus Catalogue?
Audible Plus Catalogue is only exclusive to the premium members who pay for the Audible membership. Audible Plus Catalogue gives access to thousands of Audible Originals, audiobooks, and podcasts on top of their monthly credit.
So with Family Library Sharing, you can share your purchased Audiobooks, but you can’t share the titles offered under the Audible Plus Catalogue.
