Deal Details
Not sure how long this has been a thing, but I could not find it in a search of slickdeals.

It looks like some of the stuff that was included with Plus Membership is now free without the need for any subscription. It does require an Amazon account, but does not require Prime membership. I was able to bring up the included audiobooks on the audible app and add them to my library from there.

Keep in mind that this is a rotating selection. Adding it to your library or downloading it now does not guarantee that it will be available to listen to in perpetuity. In the past I've had several audiobooks from the Plus selection become unavailable by the time I got around to listening to them.

EDIT: Some of the audiobooks in the featured row now appear to require a Plus subscription (despite still being on he free listens page). All the ones I checked in the categories below still worked.

It's ridiculous that Audible isn't included with Prime.

I haven't been able to find it in the app. Tried different search terms and those didn't work either. Either have to add it to your library through the web page or search for the book title in the app after finding it on the web page.

Is it just how I logged in or does this simply allow you two trial audiobooks? After that it goes to $14.95 per month lest cancelled?

Go back to the free listens page after you have logged in.
Something has changed though. Half the books I just clicked on no longer work. Previously there were options to play them or add them to my library. Now it says to listen with a Plus subscription despite them being on that free listens page. The couple classics I added to my library still work. EDIT: The ones that do not work seem to be limited to the featured section. The ones I tried outside of there all still worked.

I originally found that page from a web search. I don't think it was promoted anywhere or could be navigated to from their homepage. Maybe it wasn't meant for the public yet, or was something that was discontinued.

I know you can type in "free audiobooks" into the search bar of the app and get a list of free books. Alternatively on the "Discover" tab, you can scroll down to where it says "more from your membership" click on Audible plus

At the top left click on "browse "
Select "audible books"
Once page populates scroll down to the middle of page, it list the different Genres of books.

It's included (1 book a month) if you subscribe to Amazon music.

I found this website helpful as well, it's the top rated free listens.
