Listeners can download or stream their chosen titles with a membership to Audible.<\/p>\n Books may be read aloud by a narrator, the authors themselves, well-known stars or even performed by an audio cast. Many podcasts also have famous hosts \u2014 for instance, Michael Caine\u2019s podcast Heist<\/a> is about famous robberies, and then there\u2019s From the Oasthouse, Alan Partridge\u2019s podcast<\/a>, which, of course, is read by the East Anglian superstar himself.<\/p>\n Sign up to Audible free 30-day trial at Amazon \u2014 then \u00a37.99 per month (auto renews)<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n By signing up to Audible on the standard membership, you receive one new audiobook every month you are a member. You can choose from a range of membership plans and which one you have will determine how many Audible \u2018credits\u2019 you receive each month, which can be exchanged for audiobooks on the service.<\/p>\n You\u2019re not limited to one book a month, though, many are available for free and you can buy more. Also, you can listen to all the Audible Original Podcasts with unlimited streaming and there are also a number of exclusive offers and deals throughout the month, including the \u2018Daily Deals\u2019 which offer a different title for up to 80% off each day.<\/p>\n Sign up to Audible free 30-day trial at Amazon \u2014 then \u00a37.99 per month (auto renews)<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Audible credits are the service\u2019s internal currency, with one credit purchasing one audiobook: nice and simple. But different memberships afford different credits, so while the standard \u00a37.99 per month subscription grants you one token a month, the \u00a314.99 subscription gets you two, the 12-credit annual membership is \u00a369.99 per year, and the 24-credit membership will set you back \u00a3109.99 each year.<\/p>\n What\u2019s great is that Audible works with a rollover scheme, so that if, say, you have a hectic month and don\u2019t get the chance to use your monthly credit, it can be used in the following month instead. But keep in mind that credits will eventually expire after a year of disuse.<\/p>\n Sign up to Audible free 30-day trial at Amazon \u2014 then \u00a37.99 per month (auto renews)<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n You can access Audible via your internet browser. However, it\u2019s easier to install the app on your device of choice; Audible is compatible with nearly every single phone and tablet out there. One thing you\u2019ll need to make sure is that you have an Amazon account \u2014 Audible is a subsidiary company of the retail giant after all.<\/p>\n Plus, if you\u2019re an Amazon Prime member, you get more for your 30-day free trial. Instead of picking one audiobook with the free trial, Prime members can pick two! Titles include the much-talked-about Spare by Prince Harry, the Duke of Sussex, JK Rowling\u2019s Harry Potter and the Philosopher\u2019s Stone, and many more.<\/p>\n Sign up to Audible free 30-day trial at Amazon \u2014 then \u00a37.99 per month (auto renews)<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Looking at switching music streaming services?

One token entitles you to one audiobook, no matter the price, without having to shell out any extra cost.<\/p>\n If you find you don\u2019t manage to use a credit every month, it\u2019s possible to get in touch with Audible customer services and request to \u2018freeze\u2019 your account for a few months. This allows you to catch up and use the credits you have without paying more and getting swamped, or cancelling your subscription entirely.<\/p>\n Sign up to Audible free 30-day trial at Amazon \u2014 then \u00a37.99 per month (auto renews)<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n If you aren\u2019t enjoying a book or have downloaded the wrong one by mistake, you\u2019re able to return it and use your credit on something else.<\/p>\n To do this, you need to log into your account on the Audible website and click on \u2018Account Details\u2019 from the drop-down menu under your name.
