You can't.

You can use your credits from your subscription, but you cannot pay for a new audiobook in the app.

They changed this recently, and do allow direct in-app purchases now. In some random podcast interview with an exec at Amazon, I remember them saying that each team gets to make their own independent decision on this, and Audible as a unit decided to allow in-app purchases and pay Apple their cut.

Yes you can. I just did. And it was cheaper than the listed price on web.

It’s a relatively recent feature (past year), but it’s possible.
