Audible is finally back on Sonos, after a false alarm two weeks ago when the company mistakingly published a blog post saying the integration was available. Audible is now rolling out on Sonos through the Sonos and Audible apps, giving users an easy way of playing their audiobooks on Sonos hardware.

Sonos One speakers are already compatible with Amazon’s Alexa and Amazon Music, so it was surprising that the Amazon-owned Audible audiobook service has remained absent from the company’s product family for so long. The support was initially removed two years ago when Sonos staff discovered an incompatibility between Audible and Sonos integration after an update.
To celebrate its return, Audible is offering Sonos users two credits if they sign up for a 30-day free trial through the app, instead of the single credit it usually offers. It will also add Miles Davis’ autobiography, aptly titled Miles, as an attempt to sweeten the deal.
Sonos says that the ability to control Audible with Alexa voice commands is coming soon.
