If you’re new to Kobo you’ll get a 30-day free trial and your first audiobook for free, after which you can subscribe for $10 a month. The player is pretty basic, with chapter navigation, playback speed configuration, a timeline scrubber bar, and a snooze timer, which makes it a breeze to use. Kobo Books may not have as big a library as Audible, but you’ll still find a fairly extensive library of audiobooks (and e-books) to choose from in the app. It’s worth noting that books might seem a bit more expensive than on some other audiobook apps - but Audible generally has the widest available selection, so if you’re looking for more obscure titles or new releases, this is the place to find them. The handy Whispersync feature lets you switch between audiobook and text, and there’s integration for Amazon Alexa, which will read your Audible audiobooks through your smart speaker. Those with a Kindle can pay a small fee to Amazon to upgrade a Kindle e-book to an Audible audiobook, great if you want someone to read to you rather than doing the hard work yourself. The audiobook player is solid, offering bookmarks, variable playback speed, chapter navigation, and a handy sleep mode - plus multitasking mode for background downloading and playback. If you’re an avid reader, it’s probably worth investing in Premium Plus as the bonus credit and 30% discount will save you money in the longer term. You’ll also get a 30% discount on any additional content purchased from the Premium catalog, which includes bestsellers and the latest releases, as well as exclusive Audible Originals. You can save titles to your library or download them for offline listening.Īudible Premium Plus costs $15 per month and gives you all the benefits of Plus as well as a bonus credit per month, which can be redeemed against any title in the Premium selections. Audible Plus costs $8 per month and gives you a credit to exchange for any audiobook, as well as unlimited streaming and listening to content in the Audible Plus catalog - anything that’s marked with the “included” tag. You can choose from two memberships to access Audible’s top-notch collections, both with a 30-day free trial that allows you to test out the player first. That’s one of the largest available, and includes the most recent and bestselling books, as well as plenty of newspapers and magazines. Audible is a popular audiobook publisher (owned by Amazon and compatible with Amazon devices l ike newer Kindles), and its own app is still the most popular audiobook player around, with over 450,000 titles in its audio library.
