Amazon is running a promotion for Audible, where you can get a three-month subscription for $0.99 per month. Audible members get a monthly credit to use toward downloading any audiobook. Pick from the latest bestsellers and new releases, plus get unlimited access to thousands of captivating Audible Originals, audiobooks, podcasts, and more from the Plus Catalog. This offer might only apply to new members; Amazon did not announce anything either way.
Amazon Plus is the best way to experience Audible. Whatever credit you use to redeem for an audiobook is yours to keep. This deal is $1.00 per month, which means that you get three audiobooks for a total of $3.00. Even if you cancel after the trial, these audiobooks sit in your library and can be listened to online or offline. I like the offline listening mode since I often take flights without wifi, so I can listen to audiobooks to pass the time.
The Amazon Book Sale is occurring soon. Hundreds of audiobooks are on sale for under $8, including: Pictures of You by Emma Grey, Worthy by Jamie Kern Lima, and The Mercy of Gods by James S.A. Corey.
