Best Audible deals in July 2023: bag a discount on the audiobook service
Here are the best offers and promotions on the Amazon-owned audiobook service that you'll find this month.
If finding the time to delve into a new book is harder than ever with the many distractions of modern life, then why not try listening to one instead? After all, an audiobook can be absorbed while driving, commuting, on your morning jog, or even when you’re doing the washing-up. Right in the middle of this renaissance is Audible, the Amazon-owned subscription service.
Some say it's the Disney+ of audiobooks, and it’s certainly becoming just as popular in its own right. Signing-up to Audible has some handy perks, including unlimited listening to thousands of Audible Originals, podcasts, and audiobooks — alongside one new audiobook every month. Here’s our full guide to how Audible works.
Before signing-up to a full membership, it’s wise to take advantage of some of the deals we've kindly found for you, including a three month free trial. With Amazon Prime Day in full swing, there are plenty of savings to be had on the Amazon-owned service. Prime Day is an annual Amazon event which is exclusively available to Prime members (if you aren't already a member, don't worry, there's still time to sign-up for your free trial), and it offers them fantastic deals across tech, home appliances, Barbie Prime Day deals, and much more.

Get one month of Audible for free
It may come as no major surprise to hear that Audible offers a limited-time free membership so you can try before you buy. During that 30 day period, you’ll get access to thousands of free podcasts and audiobooks in what Amazon calls its 'Plus catalogue', and choose one additional audiobook, not included in this library, to download and listen to for free.
You’ll need to activate the subscription with your Amazon account, and you’ll be automatically charged £7.99 for the second month after 30 days.

Free audiobooks with the Audible three month trial
If a free three month Audible trial wasn't enough, Amazon has included popular audiobooks within your trial for absolutely free, too, rather than letting you select one audiobook during the trial. These audiobooks include Stephen Fry's Inside Your Mind, Educating Daisy by This Country star Daisy May Cooper, and the Audible original and exclusive The Stand-In by Lily Chu.

Titles include Spare by Prince Harry, the Duke of Sussex, JK Rowling's Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, The Thursday Murder Club by Richard Osman, and more.
Get 50% off membership for four months
This promotion will give you 50 per cent off an Audible membership (£3.99 instead of £7.99) for the first four months, which updates to the £7.99 package once that period comes to an end. Four quid a month saves you £16 over this period — bargain.

How to get a good Audible deal
We’ve put together a few tips to help you get the most out of your Audible membership:
- The best books deserve to be shared among friends, and Audible’s titles are no exception. If you and a fellow bookworm see two audiobooks you’re keen on listening to, you can listen to each download and then share. But make it count: you can only ever download one shared audiobook.
- Think carefully about which of the memberships you pick. While a £69.99 fee for an annual membership sounds like a lot of money to part with upfront, that works out as a monthly rate of £5.83. That’s considerably better than the standard £7.99 – count the pennies, save the pounds, right?
- Try before you buy: you can listen to a free sample of the audiobook you're planning on purchasing. Plus, Audible Premium Plus members who buy a book using credits can return it up to one year afterwards if they didn't enjoy it.
