Here are the best offers and promotions on the Amazon-owned audiobook service that you'll find this month.
If you're finding it hard to find the time to delve into a new book, what with a growing to-do list and the distractions of modern life, then why not try listening to one instead?
An audiobook can be absorbed while driving, commuting, on your morning jog, or even when you’re doing the washing-up.
Audiobooks are becoming increasingly popular and right in the middle of this renaissance is Audible, the Amazon-owned subscription service.

Signing up to Audible has some handy perks, including unlimited listening to thousands of Audible Originals, podcasts and audiobooks — alongside one new audiobook every month. Here’s our full guide to how Audible works.

Get 50% off membership for four months
What's the deal: This promotion will give you 50 per cent off an Audible membership (£3.99 instead of £7.99) for the first four months, which updates to the £7.99 package once that period comes to an end.
Why we chose it: £4 might not sound like a lot, but £4 over four months is a substantial 16 quid — enough money for a main course at a restaurant, a concert ticket at a grassroots music venue or a couple of pints in a London pub.

Audible Member Deals
What's the deal: Once you've subscribed to Audible, the savings don't stop there. Audible's 'Member Deals' page posts deals daily, for example, price drops on books and 2-for-1 credit sales.
Why we chose it: It can be annoying when deals are created to exclusively entice new customers as already-existing customers often feel left behind! With Audible member deals, the offers keep on coming throughout your subscription.

- Two-book monthly membership (two credits per month) | £14.99 per month

How to get a good Audible deal
We’ve put together a few tips to help you get the most out of your Audible membership:
- The best books deserve to be shared among friends, and Audible’s titles are no exception. If you and a fellow bookworm see two audiobooks you’re keen on listening to, you can listen to each download and then share. But make it count: you can only ever download one shared audiobook.
- Think carefully about which of the memberships you pick. While a £69.99 fee for an annual membership sounds like a lot of money to part with upfront, that works out as a monthly rate of £5.83. That’s considerably better than the standard £7.99 – every penny counts, right?
- Try before you buy: you can listen to a free sample of the audiobook you're planning on purchasing. Plus, Audible Premium Plus members who buy a book using credits can return it up to one year afterwards if they didn't enjoy it.
