In the following guide, let’s learn more about listening to unlimited audiobooks on Audible. Let’s start!
How Many Books can You Listen to on Audible?
As we discussed above, listening to audible books has no limit. But, there are some things you need to understand. Audible provides a variety of subscription plans; however, each one comes with the option to download or stream every title from the Audible Plus Catalog.
There’s no limit on the number of titles you can listen to when using an account for free or a membership. But, the quantity of titles available for download is determined by your membership plan and the number of credits you’ve earned at the start of every month. As more credits accumulate, the more audiobooks you can download.
There are two Membership Options…
If you want to unlock unlimited downloads, Audible offers two membership options:
- You can get the Audible Plus membership, which costs $7.95 monthly and allows unlimited listening to any title available in the Audible Plus catalog (it currently includes more than 11,000 titles). They can be streamed on the internet, or you can add them to your library using the Audible app, download them to your device, or stream on an Alexa device.
- Another option is the Audible Premium Plus membership, which costs $14.95 per month and includes access to the entire Audible Plus catalog. It also includes an annual credit that allows you to buy any audiobook that isn’t part of the Audible Plus catalog.
Further, you’ll have access to Audible members-only sales and 30 percent off all other audiobooks you’d like to purchase over and beyond the credit limit. If you’re a current member of Audible, then you’re automatically enrolled in this Audible Premium Plus membership. Thus, you’ll get instant accessibility to the Audible Plus catalog.
Pros of Audible Premium
Let’s look at some of the pros of using Audible premium:
- A wide selection of exclusive products, Freebies, and sales.
- Simple to use and without any technical issues.
- It is easy to return books and change your account with only one click.
Cons of Audible Premium
The following are some of the demerits of Audible premium:
- “The Plus Catalog,” which offers an unlimited number that includes thousands of audiobooks, Originals, and podcasts, is quite restricted compared to other “unlimited” audiobook services. Therefore, the possibility of choosing exactly what you like to listen to depends on the number of credits you have to purchase the book that you want.
Which Option is Best to Choose?
In case you are confused between the two Audible membership plash, let’s look at which one is best for you.
If you’re not very particular about the music you listen to or have children who hear the same song repeatedly and over and over, the Audible Plus is a good choice.
If you’d prefer to listen to the same book, you can enjoy a lifetime access (and not only while you’re enrolled in an Audible Membership) with Audible Premium Plus.
Frequently Asked Questions
How can I Play an Audible book on Alexa?
Suppose the account you use for your Audible account is identical to the one you have on your Alexa account (both must be the same via your Amazon account).
In that case, It’s easy to ask Alexa “Play [title of books] on Audible,” and she’ll begin playing the book immediately. For titles that are Plus, you’ll have to first add the titles to your library within the app so that Alexa can find the titles.
How many new Books can you Listen to per Month?
You can stream one new monthly book within the duration of your current subscription with credits. You’ll receive 1 extra credit when you’re an Audible Premium Plus member, providing you with two books at no cost.
You can also enjoy as many books as you’d like without using credits by purchasing them directly on Audible.
How Many Free Books can you Have on Audible?
There’s no limit to the number of books for free that you can download through the app. This is an excellent choice for those looking to read all the classics without spending a fortune.
What to Know When using Audible?
Access Audible through your browser, but the most convenient way is downloading the app onto the device you prefer. It’s compatible with almost every phone and tablet available. Another thing to remember is that you should have an Amazon account as Audible is an affiliate of the retailer.
Conclusion
Audible is an excellent subscription that provides unlimited listening. Audible Plus can be worth the cost for those who enjoy several audiobooks every month and are happy with the choices within the audiobook Plus catalog.
It’s an excellent deal, like similar services, if you are okay with the fact that you won’t be able to choose the book you want from the Audible catalog every month. However, if you want access to the entire Audible Plus catalog, Audible Premium Plan should be your best choice.
