How to Get Audible Audiobooks on Nintendo Switch

Part 1. Why Can’t You Directly Play Audible Books on Nintendo Switch?

The Nintendo Switch, while a fantastic gaming device, has limitations when it comes to supported audio formats. It primarily plays common formats like MP3 and AAC, which are widely used for music and other audio content. However, Audible audiobooks are encoded in a proprietary format, typically .aa or .aax. This format is designed to protect Audible's content and ensure that it can only be played through authorized apps and devices.

Think of it like a lock and key. Your Switch has the "lock" (the ability to play audio files), but it doesn't have the right "key" (the ability to decode Audible's proprietary format) to unlock and play those specific audiobook files.
