You get one credit a month. One credit equals one book. They do have a bunch of free to listen to audiobooks as well. But anything new or popular is going to require a credit. If you want more books than you have credits you can also always pay cash money instead.

I just looked at my app. I'm not aware of any way to rent from Audible. If you have the Premium Plus membership, you get one credit per month, plus you can access the "Plus Catalog" for free-to-listen content. With the credit, you can buy audiobooks that you will own. I think the free-to-listen is only accessible for as long as you have the membership, but I'm not 100% sure bc I still have it.

If you have Overdrive/Libby, you can borrow from your local library.

Have you considered Libby and Hoopla? I listen to audio books all the time; I check them out from my library with those apps.

It's also worth mentioning that in addition to the monthly credit, you pay discounted rates for any purchases. They also have regular deals allowing you to purchase 3 additional credits for a price that is cheaper than most regular-length books.

Check your local library. Many participate in lending ebooks in print and audio form. My library uses CloudLibrary.

When you sign up you get 2 free books. Worth doing it to test it out.

Hi there. Your post would be better asked in our Simple Questions thread. It helps us keep the main subreddit focused around broader discussion rather topics which only apply to an individual. Thank you!
