No need to say that in the United States and in other parts of the world the audiobook is growing exponentially to become more successful than the ebook or that the book itself. Companies are no strangers to this situation and even less Amazon.
Bezos' company has wanted to take advantage of this pull and is not only promoting its Audible service but is also combining it with other services it already has, such as the well-known Amazon Prime. Thus, it has recently been announced the availability of Audible for Amazon Prime members.
Audible will be part of Amazon Prime although not the entire service
This offer is intended to attract Amazon customers to the Amazon Prime service, but it seems that the intentions will be twofold since not all of the Audible service is offered but part of it. To be more exact you can enjoy Audible Channels, a section in which the user can find pieces of audiotexts, classic audiobooks, audios of articles from the most important newspapers, etc ... Come on, if you are one of Audible's clients, you are not going to lose anything. Amazon Prime users will have no more privileges than Audible users within the Audible service.
The truth is that although Amazon insists on offering us its Amazon Prime, it is filling it with so many services that it is becoming more and more attractive to become a member of Amazon Prime. Currently not only Amazon Prime members enjoy free shipping they also enjoy free music and movies, ebook samples, and now the ability to listen to audiobooks. All for the same price, 99 dollars per year, a profitable price if you listen to music or make a lot of purchases through Amazon.
Also now you can take advantage of the promotion and try Audible free for 3 months. Not bad, huh?
