It’s no secret that audiobooks are the fastest-growing format in publishing right now. Not only do some of today’s top thriller writers have exclusive deals with Audible, but several have even produced original content for the Amazon-owned company that has quickly become the gold standard for audiobooks both because of their easy-to-use app, as well as their best-in-market pricing.
Take #1 New York Times bestselling author Mark Greaney, for example. Not only is his Gray Man series available in audiobook exclusively on Audible, but he even wrote the audio story Armored for them well before it was later turned into a physical book and published by Berkley. Others have followed suit, and Audible’s popularity has soared as millions of readers have turned to the convenience of simply listening to their favorite new releases.
Whether you’re already a fan of audiobooks or just looking to try one out and see if it’s for you, Audible is running a great promotion right now where anyone who signs up for a free Premium Plus trial membership automatically gets two free audiobooks that they can keep even if they cancel their trial subscription. And while it sounds too good to be true, there’s actually no catch here. You’re free to cancel at any time, keeping both books without paying a single penny. Those who opt to keep their service will keep both free books of their choosing, plus get access to all of Audible’s Premium features—including a number of podcasts, audiobooks, and even interviews—and receive one credit per month, which can be used to purchase any audiobook, new or old, you want.
To better show the true value of their current promotion, Jack Carr’s next James Reece novel, Red Sky Mourning, is available for pre-order on Audible for $28.34. But if you have Audible’s Premium Plus membership, which costs $14.95 per month, you can use one of your free credits to pre-order Carr’s book or use the monthly token that comes with (for just $15 bucks a month) to purchase it that way. Either way, you’re saving money, making this a no-brainer for anyone who enjoys listening to their favorite books.
Bottom line: If you’re a fan of audiobooks and don’t have an Audible subscription, you’re either missing out or overspending to get your mystery/thriller fix. Click HERE to try Audible today and save big on their premium subscription.
