5 Reasons to shop with Audible
Many of our customers describe listening to books as a great way of being able to read more, as they can tune in when their hands are busy or their feet are on the move.
But our audiobooks aren't just about convenience. They entertain and educate, whilst being dramatised by our range of narrators (a mix of authors, acclaimed narrators and famous actors/actresses) who show how the art of good storytelling really does live on.
1) The UK's widest range of digital audiobooks
With over 60,000 audiobooks for you to choose from - including a selection of unabridged and exclusive titles - you won't find more anywhere else. Just download them to your iPod or smart phone and let the story unfold.
We're also a recognised publisher and record books in our own studio, so it means we'll always have a range of new and varied titles to suit everyone.
2) Great prices, fantastic deals
Keeping our prices competitive is something we really believe in, so we'll always make sure you'll save at least 30% off the RRP of a physical CD audiobook.
But look out for our regular sales, as they're also a great way to pick up the best deals. And because we're able to secure exclusive offers through our publishers, you know you won't find them cheaper elsewhere. Understandably, the best discounts are offered to our members, but from time to time they're so popular that we open them up to everyone.
3) Save with membership
Our membership plans offer the best value for money. A good example of this is 'The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo', which retails on Audible at £24.99. If you're a member, it's yours for just £7.99.
The plans vary in size, with the most basic giving you one credit per month to exchange for any audiobook on our site. The two book monthly plan gives you two downloads per month and if you sign up for our annual plan, you'll end up paying for just ten months in total - that's two months membership for free.
4) Easy and convenient
With digital audiobooks, it's never been quicker or easier to get to the heart of the action. That's because you can download and start listening to them straight away, either as a member or by paying as you go. The average person reads 2 audiobooks a year, whereas on average our members read 16 a year because it's so easy to read whilst you're doing something else. You can choose the pace at which you read and we offer a range of membership plans suited to all, from blossoming book worms to those who will consume all of War and Peace in one sitting!
Customer reviews and editor's picks will help you choose your next great book and as a member, you'll also have access to a special, personalised page with plenty of exclusive, free content. We're so confident that you'll be happy with our services that we've created the Great Listen Guarantee. It means you can swap up to two books a year if you aren't happy with your original choice.
5) Safe and trustworthy
Your details are precious, and we'll always treat them that way. As part of Amazon.co.uk, our reputation for safety and security is second to none and you can rest assured that we'll never share your data with 3rd parties.
Our Customer Care team is on hand to help you with any queries you may have and can help resolve any technical issues too. Just call them on 0800 496 2455.
Great Listen Guarantee
Sometimes it's hard to know whether you'll like a certain book, particularly if it's by a new author or new narrator. Everyone has different tastes, so if you don't enjoy your listen, you can exchange it thanks to our Great Listen Guarantee.
Just call our friendly Customer Care team on 0800 496 2455 and they'll replace your credit and recommend some books that you may enjoy more.
There's something to suit everyone in our huge range of new releases, best sellers and classics - narrated by some of the greatest actors and celebrities out there. And with an ever-growing library of titles, we're sure you'll love listening to audiobooks as much as we do.
