You can link your Audible and Amazon accounts together which allows the use of your Audible credits or coupons on Amazon.Amazon this morning rolled out another perk for subscribers to its Amazon Prime membership program: free access to Audible’s short-form digital programming called Audible Channels, as well as a selection of free audiobooks. Even if you’re an Amazon Prime customer, you still need a separate Audible membership to access their catalog. Also, these subscriptions are the most economical ways to access the catalog, as they include monthly credits to redeem for products every month. With these subscriptions, you have unlimited streaming or downloads of any title in the catalog. Yes, but only if you have either an Audible Plus or Audible Premium Plus membership.

You also have access to thousands of podcasts, original content, and other spoken-word material.

In addition to being the largest audiobook marketplace in the world, Audible also has professionally narrated books this makes the listening experience as immersive as possible. Audible Premium Plus allows you to listen to the entire “Plus Catalog” and choice of a free title every month.
