You can download and keep Audible books for FREE, but Amazon has an even better giveaway for Prime users

Must read

For a very limited time, Amazon has waived the £7.99 subscription fee for its popular Audible service. Anyone can unlock two months of its audiobook and podcast streamer for free. During your free subscription, you’ll be able to download and keep two Audible books of your choice and listen to popular podcasts.

But things get even better if you’re an Amazon Prime member.


Whether you’re already signed-up with the membership scheme — or currently testing it out with a 30-day free trial, Amazon Prime users will be rewarded with an extra month of free access to Audible.

That means you’ll have longer to enjoy exclusive podcast series and keep an extra Audible book.

Even if you immediately cancel your discounted three-month subscription, you’ll still be able to listen and re-listen to the Audible books that you’ve chosen, whether that’s Prince Harry’s tell-all memoir Spare read by The Duke Of Sussex himself, Frank Herbert’s Dune book series, Killing Eve star Jodie Comer reading Prima Facie, comedian David Mitchell reading his historical bestseller Unruly, or Matthew Perry’s autobiography covering his time on the ever-popular NBC sit-com and his battles addiction Friends, Lovers and the Big Terrible Thing.

If you’re enjoying House of the Dragonon Sky TV at the moment, then the book that it’s based on, Fire and Blood is available as an audiobook. Exclusive to the audio edition, you’ll be able to enjoy an interview between Game of Thrones author George R.R. Martin and historian Dan Jones.

Not only that, but you’ll also be able to listen to ad-free podcasts and Audible Original shows, like Stephen Fry’s Victorian Secrets, Sleep Sound With Jamie Dornan, French and Saunders Titting About, Derren Brown’s Boot Camp For The Brain, as well as audio documentaries like Chasing Ghislaine and Countered Terrorism.

The latest deal, which is included as part of Amazon’s annual Prime Day sale, is

Audible usually costs £7.99 per month, so you’ll save a massive £22.98 over the three months.

The last time Audible dropped in price was during the annual Black Friday sales in November 2023. However, it was discounted to £2.99 for 3 months — making this latest promotion a much better offer.

Audible memberships are available with either 1 credit or 2 credits each month.

These can be spent on an Audible book, a classic radio series, or some podcasts, like Alan Partridge: From The Oasthouse. Over the course of either two or three months included with the latest promotion, depending on your Prime membership status, you’ll be able to buy up to 3 audiobooks or series.

Audible is available on iPhone, iPad, Android smartphones and tablets, certain Kindle e-readers, Amazon Fire tablets, as well as smart speakers like the Amazon Echo, Echo Show, and Sonos, to name just a few devices. Progress is synced via the cloud, so you can pause in one app and resume in another without missing a sentence.

Amazon’s audiobook streaming service has boomed in popularity in recent years, with subscribers devouring fiction and non-fiction alike on packed trains during their daily commute, gym sessions, or while doing some household chores. If you can’t find time to curl up with a book, this latest giveaway could be a good moment to give the audiobook and podcast service a go.

If you don’t cancel during the two- or three-month free subscription period, Amazon will renew your Audible subscription on the current plan at the usual monthly rate.
