Is there a way to get the HomePod to play audiobooks I own which I have purchased on the apple store via voice or has it always got to be via airplay. Can't seem to find any voice commands that work for it
Got a tip for us?

That's gotta be AirPlay only for now, which isn't *that* much of a bear is it? Slightly less convenient, but still workable. Don't forget, you can control your HomePod from Control Center on our iPhone. Pretty easy to use.
Yeah, I wish audiobooks would become more cloud-integrated. I’ve been wanting an Apple TV audiobooks app for ages, as well as real syncing and storage via iCloud. As it is now, you can redownload your purchased audiobooks all you want, but the ones you see in your app are physically on your device - they’re not really a part of iCloud for iBooks. Hopefully the next version of iBooks/Books will fix this, because once audiobooks are fully integrated in the cloud, it should be very easy for HomePod and Apple TV integration to happen.
Apologies for bumping an old thread, but.... has the situation changed with the newer OS updates, or is AirPlay still the only option for listening to audiobooks?
