One of the hidden benefits of having Amazon Prime membership is that you have access to collections of Audible audiobooks you can listen to via streaming without having an Audible subscription. All in all, there are roughly 50 different audiobooks you can stream at any time. Different books are rotated in periodically, you don't get a warning when books will no longer be available, and you can't download the books -- but free is free. This video will walk you through how to find the Audible audiobooks that are free to listen to with your Amazon Prime membership on the Audible mobile app for Apple and Android devices, and on the Audible app for Windows.

Thanks for the suggestion, as I noticed this content was downloaded 3yrs ago and since that time Amazon and Audible have evolved. There is no longer a channel indicator and Audible can recognize the email associated with your prime account. There is presently a 1 title for free and afterwards they are charging a monthly free. At least that's what I just experienced.

Unfortunately, the information in this video is out of date. The Audible app no longer behaves as described and the second app mentioned is no longer available.

[dorton]

No channels icon. It's not under More. Signed in using Amazon log in. Live in the US, using iphone & audible app. Any ideas?

[BrittneyWinterzzz]

They must’ve updated the app because I’ve loggin in, logged out, signed in to different accounts, went on the web browser and i still dont see the channel icon

[jasonthames]

To those that are wondering, I believe you have to login with the email that started the Prime account, not any that are tied to it afterwards. The Channels button is to the right of center now. Thanks 🙏 I was lost as to how to find this on the mobile app.

I have given up trying...I am just going to continue using kindle whisper sync

[GriffsGreats]

OK so its 2020. How do I listen to free books now with my prime membership?

[letzglowbrite]

Do I need to subscribe to the membership with the monthly cost in order to access prime reading?

[lindaryan]

So clearly Max Dalton u may need to do an update on this utube tutorial.. please!!

[edwardh]

Just saying if your answer is going to be they changed it since you made the video . You should either take down the video or remake it or say in the video that it's not longer available and save people time.

[UrYellowFellow]
