#2. Check System Status
It is rare but quite possible that temporarily Apple servers are not working. And thus, you are unable to download audiobooks. To check this, go to the Apple System Status page and see that App Store, Apple ID, and iTunes Store are available.

Now, drag the Books app card up to force close it. After a few seconds, relaunch the app and try downloading the audiobook. In addition to this, you may also quit all open apps using the same method and then open the Books app.
#4. Restart Your iPhone
Open the Settings app → Tap on General, and then tap on Shut Down. Once you switch on your iPhone after a minute, this audiobook issue will most likely be solved.
