An audiobook can be absorbed while driving, commuting, on your morning jog, or even when you’re doing the washing-up.

Amazon Music Unlimited usually offers a 30-day free trial, but for a limited time only, you can get three months of Amazon Music Unlimited for free. After the free trial, it's £10.99 a month for Amazon Prime members and £11.99 a month for non-Prime members.

Free audiobooks with the Audible one month trial

What's the deal: If a free one month Audible trial wasn't enough, Amazon has included popular audiobooks within your trial for absolutely free, too, rather than letting you select just one audiobook during the trial.

Why we chose it: The audiobooks included in this deal aren't to be sniffed at! The audiobooks include popular reads like Rebecca Yarros's Onyx Storm, Conclave by Robert Harris, and the latest instalment in the Hunger Games series, Sunrise on the Reaping.

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.

Audible also offers four membership tiers, plus it is now available with Amazon Music Unlimited for £10.99 a month.

  • One-book monthly membership (one credit per month) | £7.99 per month
  • 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.
  • Keep an eye out for sales events at Amazon. Amazon is notorious for hosting fantastic sales events such as its Black Friday offers and Amazon Spring Deal Days. During these discount days, you'll often find the price of Audible slashed.
