Deal Details
(Offer started 11/19/2024) - I am apparently NOT in the loop! I am not sure if this has been posted, and I do not remember seeing it before. I tried to search to make sure this was not a re-post, but the search terms are rather generic and I could not get a good hit. Fingers crossed this is original !
I recently activated a free month of Amazon Music Unlimited after purchasing an Echo device and discovered it now includes one audiobook per month via Audible. Important: this is a listening benefit, not permanent ownership of the title.

! I recently activated a free month of Amazon Music Unlimited after purchasing an Echo device and discovered it now includes one audiobook per month via Audible. Important: this is a listening benefit, not permanent ownership of the title.
What's Included & When It Started:
- As of November 19, 2024, in the U.S., Canada, and the U.K., Amazon Music Unlimited subscribers (Individual or Family plan primary account holder) can listen to one audiobook per month from Audible's catalog. (Amazon official announcement [aboutamazon.com])
- From Amazon's U.S. page:
> "Amazon Music Unlimited subscribers can listen to one audiobook at a time. Each month, you can continue to listen to the same title or select a new one." (Amazon Music Unlimited — Audible Is Now Included (U.S.) [amazon.com])
Important Limitations:
- The audiobook is not permanently owned; access ends when the Music Unlimited subscription is canceled or paused.
> "If the Amazon Music subscription is canceled or paused, access to the audiobooks ends at the billing cycle's conclusion." (The Verge article [theverge.com]) - Only the primary account holder on the plan is eligible to choose the monthly audiobook.
- Choice unlocks based on your subscription renewal date, not the calendar month. From Amazon's page:
> "If your subscription renews on the 15th of the month, you will be able to select a new audiobook on the 15th of each subsequent month."

How does the audiobooks benefit work on Amazon Music Unlimited? Subscribers can listen to one audiobook at a time and can select a new one each month, starting on their subscription renewal date. The audiobook is not a purchase and cannot be kept. (Amazon Music Unlimited — Audible Is Now Included (U.S.) [amazon.com]) What is the difference between Amazon Music Unlimited and Audible Premium Plus? Amazon Music Unlimited includes one audiobook per month to listen to. Audible Premium Plus provides one credit each month to purchase and own an audiobook permanently, plus access to the Audible Plus Catalog. (The Verge article [theverge.com]) Can I purchase audiobooks in the Amazon Music app? No — audiobooks must be purchased on Audible or Amazon.com and listened to in the Audible app. Where can I get more support? You can get more support via the Amazon Music Unlimited Help pages. |
