What Are The Devices Audible Stop Giving Support?
Audible stopped providing support for Kindle Keyboard and Kindle Touch because of the advancement of technologies. So you can use these devices, but Audible will not provide any kind of support for them.
What Are The Best Devices for Audible Audiobooks?
1. iPod Touch (Best iPod for Audible)
It is best for Apple fans.
There are so many people who just like apple products such as smartphones, iPad, smartwatches, MacBooks, etc. If you are an Apple fan too and want to listen to your Audible Audiobooks on an Apple device, then you should buy the iPod Touch, which comes with so many specifications and huge space. It comes with 256GB of storage which gives you the option to store all of your Audiobooks without worrying about empty space.
2. Kindle Paperwhite (11 Gen)
It’s best for those who want to switch between Kindle ebook reading to audiobook listening.
Amazon just introduced the 11 gen Kindle Paperwhite. You may be surprised that why am I recommending Kindle Paperwhite for Audiobooks. But the Kindle Paperwhite is not just for kindle ebooks; instead you also listen to the audio version of your ebook with Paperwhite.
You can listen to the Audiobook along with the ebook, or can simply switch between Audiobook and ebook. You just need to connect your Kindle Paperwhite with Bluetooth or a smart speaker, and you are good to go.
Note: To listen to the audio version of the ebook, you have to make an additional purchase of the Audio version of the ebook.
3. Amazon Echo & Alexa Devices
It’s best for those who spend most of their time at home.
Amazon Alexa enabled smart speakers, and other smart devices are the best option to listen to your Audible Audiobook on the command of your voice.
If you are a housewife, or you work from home, or for any other reason you spend most of your time in the home, then Amazon Echo & other Alexa Devices are the best options for your Audiobook listening habits.
Amazon Echo & Alexa Devices support Audible, which means you can connect your smart device with your Audible account to listen to your Audiobook whenever you say “Alexa, Play my audiobook”.
Note: Audible also supports Sonos smart speakers and Fire TV.
4. Sony NW-A50 Walkman
Best portable and small Mp3 player which supports Audible Audiobook.
If you are a busy person and spend most of the time outside the home, and for this reason looking for a tiny portable device to listen to your Audiobooks, then I will suggest you go with the Sony NW-A50 Walkman.

FAQS | Frequently Asked Questions
No, Audible doesn’t support any Google Home smart speaker, which means you can’t connect your Audible account with your Google Smart Speaker. But you connect your smartphone with your google smart speaker by Bluetooth to play the Audible Audiobook.
If you are using the 7th gen or any previous version of the Ipad, and you recently updated your Audible app, then it’s possible that the new version of the Audible app is not supporting your device. The current app that I found only accommodates iOS13+, so I will suggest you uninstall the Audible App and install any previous version of Audible. To install any previous version of the Audible, just go to ApkMirror -> search for Audible -> download the previous version of Audible -> install it manually to your iPad.
If you are looking for any small portable device to listen to Audible Audiobook, then I will suggest you to use any Audible Compatible Mp3 player, such as SanDisk Clip Jam, Creative ZEN Vision:M, or SanDisk Sansa Clip+.
Sorry to mention, but Kodi doesn’t support Audible default audiobook files, but you can convert the default Audible Audiobook file to common formats to enjoy on your Kodi.
No, as of now Audible app is not available for the Android or IOS smartwatch. But if you have the Audible Android app installed on your smartphone, then it comes with a paired app for the watch. But there’s no rewind / forward option, you can just Play / Pause, Volume Up Down. Source
