iCloud and Audiobooks

Don't believe the hype - iCloud doesn't seem to work with audiobooks.   In principle you buy music on one iCloud registered product, such as an iPad, and it should appear on all of your other machines, such as and iPhone, iPod etc.  However this doesn't appear to apply to audiobooks as I bought one this morning on my iPad expecting it to appear on my iPhone but it didn't.  So it would seem for some unknown reason audiobooks are outside of the iCloud regime.   I suspect part of  the reason may be bandwidth - most audiobooks are huge, the latest George RR Martin book I down loaded was over 1 GB in size and this would effect a lot WiFi hotspots.  Whatever the reason this doesn't seem to be mentioned by Apple when plugging the benefits of the iCloud.
