Audio Books is a free iPhone and iPad app from AudioBooks.com with a collection of over 60,000 audiobooks including 2500 free titles. New Audio Books users can claim one paid title for free after signing up for an account including the new Becoming Steve Jobs biography…

Apple has only allowed a small number of App Store apps to support the CarPlay feature, some of which include: CBS Radio News, iHeartRadio, Rdio, Spotify, and Stitcher Radio for Podcasts.

The Audio Books interface shows both saved books in your library, as well as featured books from the service. Users can easily navigate through genres of audiobooks, and can even listen to free titles without needing to sign up for an account.
