However, this is not the case for all kinds of apps in the world. For example, there is not an Audible app for Roku nor an Audible channel. Actually many customers have complained this issue on forums online. According to the response of Audible, they are still working hard on adding it to more and more devices. As of the time being, we don't know when will it be released exactly. Instead of waiting for it to no avail, you can also try another alternative way to play Audible audiobooks on Roku without any hassles.
