Audiobooks - hive mind help please

[cjsmith]

I'd like to listen to audiobooks on my commute. I have an ancient iPhone and a third-party car radio with CarPlay.

Q1: Can I use Audible even if I'm not paying a monthly fee? (I'm a Prime member, if that helps.)

Q2: Is there any other audio book app out there that works with CarPlay? (Already looked at Overdrive and Libby, because ideally I'd like to borrow from libraries sometimes, but those don't have CarPlay support. Kindle reputedly has audio as well, but it too lacks CarPlay support.)

Fwiw, the "credit" system that Audible uses means that you can get, for example, all 58 hours of Stephen Fry reading the complete Sherlock Holmes for $12.99.

If you want cheaper than that, see if you library offers digital audio titles.

I'm beginning to see why people pay for membership. It's not to use the app, it's to get deals on books?

Definitely want to check out the library, but both apps that I know are compatible with my local library will not play via my car. Woe is me.
