About Audible
Audible is Amazon's audiobook subscription service, offering the world's largest selection of audiobooks, original audio content, podcasts, and audio series. With over 500,000 titles, Audible dominates the audiobook market and is available across all major devices and platforms.
The subscription model works on a credit system—members receive 1–2 credits per month depending on their plan, with each credit redeemable for any audiobook regardless of retail price (making it especially valuable for expensive titles). The Premium Plus plan offers the best value for regular listeners.
Audible frequently runs new member promotions offering deeply discounted first months. Their member-only sales on additional audiobooks (up to 2 for 1 deals) and Whispersync offers (add audio to Kindle books for $1–3) provide additional value for existing members.
Quick Savings Tips
- New member promotions often offer 1–3 months for $0 or at heavily reduced rates
- Whispersync lets you add audio to Kindle books you own for just $1–3—huge value
- Use credits on the most expensive audiobooks (celebrity narrations, new releases) for maximum credit value
- Audible's 365-day return policy lets you exchange any audiobook you don't enjoy
- If you cancel, Audible often offers 2–3 months at reduced rates as a retention offer
