Amazon’s Audible service has recently introduced a new, cheaper, membership plan which is available in several key markets including the UK.
Audible is one of the biggest sellers of audiobooks, with a library of 900,000 titles from major publishers and spanning all genres.
The new Standard plan costs £5.99 per month and operates similar to a lending library – users can select one title each month to listen to for as long as they remain a member. They also get unlimited access to the service’s line-up of podcasts.
Also available is the Premium Plus membership plan which costs £8.99 per month. This service provides users with 1 credit a month to buy any audiobook which is theirs to keep, even if they cancel their subscription.
Premium Plus members also get discounts on many additional audiobook purchases and unlimited access to Audible’s all-you-can-listen catalogue of 15K+ audiobooks and podcasts.
