Downloading Audiobooks and Podcasts
Audiobooks tend to be large files that can contain up to several hours' worth of audio, so you can only download them to your iPhone from iTunes. Podcasts are usually much smaller, so you can download them directly to your iPhone or through iTunes. Some podcasts are strictly audio files, while others contain video as well.
Audiobooks almost always cost money to download. Depending on the book and the length of the audio file, an audiobook can cost as little as $1 or as much as $20 or more. Podcasts, on the other hand, are usually free to download, although you can purchase subscriptions to some podcasts for a minimal cost that's usually much lower than the price of an audiobook.
