Ultimae Guide: Listen to iTunes Audio Books on Kindle

Part 1. Why iTunes Audio Books Can't Be Playable on Kindle

To avoid unauthorize sharing with the purpose to protect the benefit of owners and publishers of digital media files, Apple applied FairPlay DRM technology in its almost all files, including not only audiobooks but also iTunes movies, TV shows, Apple Music, etc.

Because of this protection, every user has no permission to transfer iTunes protected files to unauthorized non-Apple devices even they have purchased them legally. As consequence, iTunes audiobooks can't be transferred to Amazon Kindle for listening.

Besides, there is still another reason why you can't play iTunes audio books on Kindle. It could be the incompatible audio format. Kindle supported the following audio formats, including MP3 files and Audible's AAX and AAX audio books. As what we said before, iTunes audiobooks are encoded in M4B format that is not in the Kindle supported audio list. Apart from removing DRM protection, you also need to convert iTunes audiobooks to MP3, one of the Kindle compatible formats.
