It’s officially Prime Day, and if you haven’t checked it out already, Audible is running a great deal that’s available exclusively for Amazon Prime subscribers.
Of course, Amazon is known for year-round deals, but this specific deal only tends to come around a few times a year, and Prime Day is definitely one of those times. For a limited time, new and eligible returning Audible subscribers can take advantage of an extended free trial Audible Premium Plus — which basically means you’ll get three audiobooks of your choice for free over three months.

Like we noted above, this deal is only for Amazon Prime subscribers — which you’ll need to be anyway if you want to take part in the sales bonanza, anyway. A Prime membership costs $14.99/month or $139/year, and in addition to access to exclusive deals, you’ll gain access to free books on Prime Reading, the Prime Video streaming service, and so much more.

Frequently Asked Questions:
Is Audible Free with Prime?
Unfortunately, Audible is not one of the free perks of an Amazon Prime membership, so you’ll need to pay for the Audible membership on top of the Prime subscription. However, there are some audiobooks included with Prime Reading that are free to Prime members; note the selection does tend to rotate.
How Do I Access My Free Audible Books on Amazon Prime?
The easiest way to access your Audible Books is through the Audible app! There, you’ll sign in with your Amazon Prime log-in details and immediately gain access to your entire Audible library. Additionally, if you own a book on both Audible and as an e-book through the Kindle store, the Kindle Paperwhite has support for Bluetooth audio devices so you can listen and read at the same time.
When Does Amazon Prime Day Start? When Does Prime Day End?
Prime Day began on July 16 and will end on July 17.
Do You Have to Have Amazon Prime for Prime Day?
Yes! Most Prime Day deals, including this Audible one, are exclusively for Amazon Prime subscribers. If you aren’t one already, take advantage of the 30-day free trial to get started.
