If a Wi-Fi connection to the Internet isn’t available, audiobooks play over your carrier’s cellular network, which may result in additional fees. Audiobooks over 200 MB can’t be played over cellular (iPadOS 13.3 or earlier). To manage cellular data usage, see View or change cellular settings on iPad.
