If you're reading this, chances are you love books. We do. Still, our hectic lives rarely allow us a few hours of peace and quiet we can devote to our favorite pastime. Audiobooks offer a good alternative as you can enjoy them during your commute to work, out in the park - literally anywhere. Recently, Amazon Audible has positioned itself as the best audiobook app. With an ever-growing library of 11,000+ titles, it caters to any taste and genre. From romance to horror and sci-fi - Audible books can transform an hour or two (or five!) of your day into something magical.

FAQ
Where can I find Audible promo codes?
AppGrooves offers an up-to-date database of coupons for Audible and an array of other apps focusing on ebooks and audiobooks. The list is refreshed on a daily basis and no expired coupons are allowed to remain on it. Each deal comes with a set of instructions on how to take advantage of it - as well as clearly outlined terms and conditions. You can expect to get free trial memberships, in-app perks, as well as free books.
How do I redeem my Audible coupon?
Redeeming Audible coupons doesn't differ much from the way you would use any other promo code in online retail. Once you've selected your preferred deal on AppGrooves, be sure to take into consideration the description provided. Familiarize yourself with the conditions and then simply follow the instructions outlined below. Copy the code, put all the audiobooks you wish to listen to into your basket, and proceed to the page where you can pay with your credit or debit card, as well as Amazon Pay. There, you can enter the code in question and you'll get all the content for a lot less than you were initially planning on paying.
What if my Audible discount won't work?
Sometimes, promo codes found on the internet won't work. The main reason could be their expiration date. AppGrooves may update its lists very frequently but some other online deal aggregators won't be so conscientious. If the deal you have chosen is out-of-date, the only thing you can do is look for another. Another reason you can get an error message is the unique terms and conditions as well as regional restrictions some promo codes come with.
What's the best deal for Audible?
At the moment, the best Audible deal you can find on AppGrooves is the 30-day free trial that will give you a good taste of what this online service has to offer. You'll get access to the entire Audible Plus catalog and substantial discounts on any purchases you may make during this period. Of course, there are other promo codes present - and new ones will definitely be added to the AppGrooves database as they become available.
How often does Audible issue coupons?
Unlike Amazon which comes up with new promotions on an almost daily basis, Audible tends to issue codes slightly less frequently. Only a few of them are likely to appear in any given month - with a larger volume of deals becoming available around the holiday season. You can also expect to see fresh coupons around the beginning of the school year. If you consider yourself a voracious reader - it's best that you visit AppGrooves on a regular basis so as not to miss any new deals.
How many deals are there for Audible?
AppGrooves is currently offering two different Audible deals that you can instantly redeem via the website or smartphone app. Each is universal and without any regional restrictions. This number is likely to change as old, out-of-date promos are removed from the website and new codes are added to the database. The deals do, after all, expire after a while, and we always endeavor to only have the best on our pages.
Can you pay over time with Audible?
Yes, Audible has this option. Larger purchases are a common occurrence among lovers of audiobooks, especially those that are able to go through five or six new titles per week. If you're one such enthusiast, you may want to split your purchase into several installments. Audible is partnered with QuadPay Financing, an online-only service that allows you to buy now but pay over the course of four months.
Does Audible offer gift cards?
Audible does indeed have a gift plan although it is structured a bit differently than most users expect it to be. Unfortunately, you cannot use gift cards to purchase individual audiobooks. However, Audible offers gift memberships you will be able to send to your family members, friends, colleagues, or perfect strangers. Such a plan will entitle the recipient of the gift to unlimited access to Audible plus one free credit per month - a privilege that can be exchanged for any book they choose.
How do I make a purchase with Audible?
The Amazon Audible interface is very intuitive and making a purchase is easy. Simply select the audiobooks you wish to listen to. Free ones will be immediately accessible while those that require payment will be added to your shopping basket. Once you've made your selection, you can proceed to checkout, pick your payment method, redeem any coupons you have found on AppGrooves, and complete your purchase.
Can you return audiobooks to Audible and get a refund?
Yes, you may do this if you are in any way dissatisfied with your purchase. Audible offers an exceptionally generous 365-day window for you to make up your mind and return a title that hasn't met your expectations. The transaction will then be reimbursed to you via the payment method you have used to make the purchase. This can be actual money, Audible credits, or even a coupon. Sorting all of this out is easy. Just enter the "Purchase History" tab within the app to initiate the process.
Are Audible audiobooks free with Amazon Prime?
Prime Reading enables access to all of Audible's free content. Of course, many books still need to be paid for, but a large chunk of content is available through a rotating library of audiobooks and magazines you can access as an integral part of your regular Prime membership. Obviously, Audible operates under the Amazon umbrella so there is quite a bit of overlap between the two services - as well as Kindle.
Are Audible podcasts free?
Some of them are, while others aren't. It is up to the creator or publisher to decide on the pricing (or lack thereof) of their content. Audible offers a substantial selection of free podcasts so you can always find something interesting to listen to without spending a dime. All you have to do is sign into the app or website with your existing Amazon account and you'll immediately be granted access to this ever-expanding library.
Can you keep Audible books forever?
Yes. Each title you purchase from Audible is yours to download and keep for as long as you wish. The books, magazines, and podcasts can be accessed through multiple devices - both on and offline. You can, of course, remove files from a specific device, but they will still remain stored in your virtual library. This makes it easier to enjoy your favorite content regardless of whether you're in the comfort of your own home - or in a train, out camping or visiting a new country.
Can you share Audible audiobooks?
Yes, you can share audiobooks, magazines, as well as series, and podcasts with those you care about. Audible's Family Library Sharing lets you share content via the so-called Amazon Household. This is tied to your Amazon account and can be expanded to ebooks, music, and software you have purchased or downloaded through this network. Up to 6 members can be added to this virtual bubble - and add to it by making individual purchases.
Can you download Audible books?
Yes. Every audiobook, magazine, or podcast you buy is yours to download and store on as many devices as you wish. This also applies to any free content available through Audible. On your computer (be it a PC or Mac), the books will be stored on your hard drive. If you're accessing the service through the app, you will need to make sure that you are accessing your virtual library through the "Cloud" section.
Do Audible credits expire?
Unfortunately, they do. You can receive credits directly via your Audible membership or get them as gifts from other members - your friends, family members, or colleagues. These virtual tokens will expire if left unused for 365 days. You can check the status of your account by accessing the Credits summary page through the app. There is, however, one exception. Credits purchased through the iOS app do not expire due to a special deal Amazon has struck with Apple.
What membership options does Audible offer?
Audible offers two different types of membership, each coming with a unique set of perks and a slightly different price tag. Audible Plus lets you enjoy originals, audiobooks, sleep tracks, meditation programs, and countless podcasts, all for just $7.95 per month. The other option, called Audible Premium Plus, gives you all of the above, plus one bestseller of your choice you can download free of charge - and keep it in your library forever. Members of Amazon Prime will have the number of free titles raised to two per month by default.
How do I contact Audible customer service?
There are a few ways to get in touch with Amazon Audible customer service. For general questions, ideas, and suggestions on how they can improve their service, it is best to call 0800-496-2455 in the US. For more specific queries as well as reporting technical issues, it is best to open the contacts page in the app (or on the website) and fill in the form provided. You can also engage in live chat (available 24/7), or write an email - if that is what you prefer. Audible also maintains a lively social media presence, with profiles on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and a channel on YouTube.
Are Audible and Kindle the same?
No, they are not, although both platforms operate under the umbrella of Amazon. The Audible app focuses on audiobooks and other related content while Kindle is exclusively devoted to ebooks. The two apps are, however, interconnected so you can easily browse the content of one using the interface of the other. The two types of content are stored in separate libraries but are both downloadable and accessible through your Amazon or Amazon Prime account.
Are books on Audible abridged?
No. All the content available on Audible is presented in full length - unless otherwise specified. Centuries-old classics, brand new bestsellers, science books, and self-help tomes all come free from cuts, their entire contents presented by skilled narrators from start to finish. In case certain modifications to the text are present, this will be explicitly stated in the description box on the smartphone app.
How does Audible make its money?
Audible utilizes two business models to earn money. Direct sales mean that content is sold on an individual basis directly to the end-user. The subscription model, on the other hand, rests on monthly or yearly membership that the user will commit to - for up to three years in a row, with an obvious possibility of renewal. As far as authors and publishers are concerned, they make their money from Audible via so-called "net sales" (as opposed to flat-rate royalties).
So how much does it all cost? Not an awful lot - believe it or not. You can purchase content on an individual basis or get an Audible subscription. Both options are affordable enough so that any book lover can indulge. If you're looking to stretch that dollar, you can always visit AppGrooves and pick up a coupon. They will make your life so much easier. From self-help classics by Dale Carnegie to the most exciting Harry Potter audiobooks, everything will be at your fingertips - at a bargain.
