Amazon has launched its October Prime Day Audible deal, making it accessible to both Amazon Prime and non-Prime members. From now until October 7th, customers can subscribe to four months of Audible Standard for $0.99 per month. As an added bonus, this deal also provides $20 in Audible credit. The offer is valid for new and lapsed subscribers, though availability may vary by account. Following the promotional period, the subscription will automatically renew at the standard rate of $8.99 per month, with the option to cancel auto-renewal at any time.
Audible offers two subscription tiers: Standard and Premium Plus. The Standard plan costs $8.95 per month, significantly less than the Premium Plus plan's $14.95 per month. Both tiers provide access to Audible's catalog of over one million audiobooks. The Standard subscription includes one free audiobook credit per month, which must be maintained with an active membership to retain access. Premium Plus subscribers receive one free audiobook monthly that they keep indefinitely.
For users primarily interested in accessing a wide range of audiobooks without necessarily keeping them permanently, the Standard subscription represents a more cost-effective option, potentially saving $72 annually before the current discount. This current deal further enhances that value proposition.
The Audible library features numerous popular titles across various genres. Matt Dinniman's Dungeon Crawler Carl LitRPG series, narrated by Jeff Hays, is currently a bestseller on the platform, and the first three audiobooks in the series are available as part of this promotion for $0.99. The critically acclaimed Empyrean Series by Rebecca Yarros, including its first book Fourth Wing, is also available, as is the latest Hunger Games novel, Sunrise on the Reaping, narrated by Jefferson White and approximately 12 hours and 48 minutes long.
Fans of fantasy literature can explore Brandon Sanderson's Wind and Truth, the fifth book in The Stormlight Archive series, which runs for an extensive 63 hours. Additionally, Stephen King's crime novel Never Flinch, a nearly 15-hour audiobook narrated by Jessie Mueller, is also part of Audible's offerings.
