Monthly vs annual subscription plans
Amazon offers audiobook rentals through its Amazon Music Unlimited service and Audible, its dedicated audiobook subsidiary. With Amazon Music Unlimited, subscribers can listen to one audiobook at a time. Each month, subscribers can either continue listening to the same audiobook or select a new title. If you have a monthly plan, you can select a new audiobook on the day your subscription renews each month. For instance, if your subscription renews on the 10th of the month, you can exchange your audiobook selection on or after that date.
On the other hand, Amazon Music Unlimited also offers an annual subscription plan. With this plan, you can select a new audiobook on the same date as your initial subscription start date. For example, if you started your annual plan on the 15th of the month, you would be able to exchange your audiobook on the 15th of each subsequent month during your membership term.
It's important to note that if you pause or cancel your Amazon Music Unlimited subscription, you will lose access to your selected audiobook at the end of the current billing cycle. Additionally, you can only listen to audiobooks selected through Amazon Music Unlimited via the Amazon Music app.
Audible, owned by Amazon, also offers audiobook subscriptions. With a Prime membership, you get two credits for the first month, which can be redeemed for audiobooks. After the first month, you can purchase audiobooks at a discounted price of $15 each. It's worth noting that cancelling an Audible subscription can be challenging, as it requires navigating to the Audible page and clicking "cancel" in three different places.
When choosing between monthly and annual subscription plans for audiobooks on Amazon, consider your listening habits and preferences. The monthly plan offers more flexibility, allowing you to change your audiobook selection each month on the renewal date. This is ideal if you listen to audiobooks sporadically or prefer a variety of titles. On the other hand, the annual plan may be more cost-effective and convenient if you listen to audiobooks consistently throughout the year, as you'll have access to a new title each month on a fixed schedule.
