This page contains links to each app and support pages if you need instructions on installation. You can download the Audible app onto a wide variety of devices, including smartphones, Kindles, smart devices, computers and tablets. Each title is priced depending on length and amount of extra production value, but they typically range from £10 to £30, and stretch to more than 15 hours of total listening time. If you want to buy audiobooks that aren’t in Audible Originals you have to purchase them separately. The basic tier, with one credit/book in the month, is a recurring £7.99. This is ideal if you plan on becoming a heavier listener as it gives you one credit every month to spend on a title of your choice (the length of membership changes depending on the tier) plus unlimited access to the thousands of titles in the Audible Originals category, including the Jane Austen Collection, a 45 hour-long epic with narration performed by Claire Foy, Florence Pugh and Emma Thompson, plus an audiobook dramatisation of Little Women that's narrated by Laura Dern.

Much like Kindle Unlimited for ebooks, the second option is to sign up for an Audible subscription. If your device supports it, you may want to use a microSD card to save audiobooks larger in size. Kindles are limited when it comes to built-in storage so make sure you check how much room you have before filling them with titles. Just be aware that larger titles take up space on your device, and if you’re not on wifi you may be charged for using data.Īudiobooks are larger file sizes than music, and it’s not uncommon for them to go upwards of 250MB each – roughly the same as 30 minutes of standard-definition video. You can stream the audiobook or download it to your device so you can still access it offline, such as while you're on a flight or commuting to work. You have two options when it comes to listening. It will be saved to your account forever in a space known as the Audible Library and it will appear there no matter what device you log in from. If you only want a one-off audiobook, then you can simply download the Audible app onto your device and buy the chosen title from the online store.

SIGN UP FOR AUDIBLE How does Audible work? And there’s one great way to test it out: taking advantage of the 30-day trial gets you one credit (so you can download a single audiobook), while Amazon Prime members using the free trial for the first time get two credits, and that gets you two titles for the month.
