Audible is the United States\u2019 biggest audio book producer and seller. Amazon bought Audible in 2008 for $300 million. Now, Amazon is trying to offer additional perks to Prime members, by offering free access to Audible Channels and audiobooks. If you don\u2019t have Prime, however, you can still access this feature for about $5 per month.<\/span><\/p>\n

Amazon Prime and Audible<\/b><\/p>\n

If you have an Amazon Prime membership, then you\u2019ll have access to over 700,000 audiobooks from the Audible library. Amazon Prime members have unlimited access to these audiobooks. In addition, there are over 70 radio channels associated with Audible that are accessible to Audible and Amazon Prime customers.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Perks of Audible<\/b><\/p>\n

But, is Audible worth it? Are you cheating on your physical book copies? Well, sort of. Audible enables you to multitask while you listen to your book. However, if you are reading a standard novel, then you are certainly limited to the tasks you can perform while multitasking.<\/span><\/p>\n

Moreover, Audible is compatible with your Kindle, so you can synchronize the two using the \u201cWhispersync For Voice\u201d feature. So, if you are out shopping and listening to an audiobook through your phone, you can pick up your Kindle later that night and pick up exactly where you left off. You can also adjust the speed that a reader speaks on Audible. So if you want your Harry Potter novels to be read with a higher sense of urgency, then you can adjust the speed accordingly.<\/span><\/p>\n

Audible will also refund any audiobook you are displeased with. While you probably can\u2019t abuse this perk to get automatic refunds, you will certainly be able to get refunded for a few books you didn\u2019t care for.<\/span><\/p>\n

Listening to Your Favorite Authors<\/b><\/p>\n

Sometimes, authors will read their own books. This can be an exciting practice if you really love a particular author, or even if you\u2019re reading the biography of a comedian or other performer. <\/span>On Writing<\/span><\/i> by Stephen King, for example, is narrated by King himself. Likewise, <\/span>Writing Down the Bones<\/span><\/i> is narrated by author Natalie Goldberg.<\/span><\/p>\n

Try Out Audible<\/b><\/p>\n

Your first two audiobooks are free. If you are not sure whether you want to commit to Audible, you can sign up for a 30-day free trial that lets you listen to two complimentary books. If you do not like Audible, you can cancel your service and maintain possession of the two audiobooks you received, free of charge.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
