Audible sells audiobooks, podcasts and Audible Originals through monthly listening memberships.
Audible Standard costs $8.99 a month and Audible Premium Plus $14.95, and each starts with a 30-day free trial for new members that bills automatically when it ends unless you cancel first.
Audible sorts its catalog into genres such as mystery and thriller, sci-fi and fantasy, romance, biographies and memoirs, self development, and children's and teen titles, with a section for Latino and Hispanic voices and a Spanish-language version of the site. Next to audiobooks from authors like Stephen King, John Grisham and Rebecca Yarros, it produces Originals and exclusives with well-known celebrities and newer talent, and it keeps a Plus Catalog of included titles.
The Audible app lets listeners change narration speed, set a timer that pauses the story, switch to a Car Mode with larger controls, and download titles to play offline. Shoppers can sign in with an Amazon account, and the company also runs Audible for Business.
