Part 1. How to Stream Audible Audiobooks to SoundTouch via Bluetooth

Compared to Sonos's excellent music system, Bose SoundTouch doesn't support as many music streaming apps. However, it does offer Bluetooth connectivity, providing an effortless way to stream music from numerous devices directly. Although Audible audiobooks can only be accessed through the dedicated Audible app, which is not available on Bose SoundTouch, it is highly recommended to use Bluetooth for streaming Audible content to the SoundTouch speaker. What you need to do is to pair your device which has Bluetooth with the SoundTounch sound system. Once it is paired, a record of the connection information is stored in the memory of each device and you don't need to pair again in the future. Before you begin, please make sure your SoundTouch system supports Bluetooth too.

Method 1: Direct Bluetooth Pairing

1. Power on your Bose SoundTouch and press the Bluetooth button until the Bluetooth indicator blinks slowly. This indicates pairing mode.
2. Enable Bluetooth on your device by going to its Settings and finding the Bluetooth menu.
3. Once Bluetooth is on, your device will scan for nearby devices.
4. Select your Bose SoundTouch from the list of available devices. The Bluetooth connection should take just a few seconds, and a solid white light on your SoundTouch confirms pairing.
5. Download the Audible app from your device's app store and launch it.

You are now ready to enjoy Audible audiobooks through your Bose SoundTouch.

Method 2: Via the SoundTouch App

1. Install the Bose SoundTouch app on a Bluetooth-supported device such as a smartphone or computer.
2. Long-press the Auxiliary Bluetooth button on your SoundTouch speaker to activate Bluetooth.
3. Activate Bluetooth on the device you wish to pair, such as a phone or tablet.
4. Open the SoundTouch app and tap the Three-dash icon in the top left corner.
