r/audible

I am enjoying the site wide sale so much! I started using Audible and Kindle last November 2025 so I’m kinda new to this. I see myself relying on audiobooks because I’m quite busy. I did not expect to buy 100 audiobooks for just 300 USD! I only buy titles around 2-3USD, usually series because it’s expensive to buy with the original price. I have a membership that gives me 2 credits per month annually. So it’s like 229 USD/24 credits = 9.54/audiobook. I feel like I saved money even if I spent a lot in one go 🙈💖

I’m a chronic procrastinator, have a hard time finding the motivation/discipline to do the little things EVERY day (making my bed, working out, cooking etc.). Looking to find something that has advice that will stick or provide real world application I can use to work on consistency

I’ve recently gotten into an audiobook phase again and would love some recommendations! I’m trying to stock up before the sale ends meaning I’m trying to stick in the $5 or lower ish area but maybe pushing $7-8 if it’s amazing maximum right now. If you got an amazing recommendation above that I’m still all ears. I’ve been known to break my own rules lol. So, I’d love some general favorites or must reads.

I’m an audible newbie so idk what a good deal is and what more so a regular deal so to speak

I’m open to any genre really. I generally prefer standalone’s, duologies, or trilogy. I tend to find lengthy series to be daunting and lose the drive to finish later on. Of course there are exceptions as shown below

Does the new Read & Listen option count towards the reading streak on Kindle? Considering you need to own the Ebook in order to have the option?

I'm looking for new books on the Audible app and picked a few that were on sale. They're sitting in my cart right now, but no matter where I look I can't find a way to get to my cart. Is there not a way to see my cart from the Audible app?

Looking for opinions on the best version of the hobbit for my 7 year old. Abridged, full, which narrator etc.

There are so many different options with very different playtimes so it’s hard to compare.

We have read the book together unabridged. But it did take us about 3 months.

Hi!  I am the author of Nexus Unbridled, Book 3 in the trilogy The Loom & The Knife, a collection of sci-fi short stories inspired by Greek Mythology.  If you listened to Book 1 - The Mercy Engine, I have US and UK promo codes for Book 2 - The Chorus Protocol and Book 3 - Nexus Unbridled.  Just send me a direct message and I'll send you the codes.  Thank you!

Nexus Unbridled

Inspired by the Myth of the Moirai

New Athens, Greece.  2744 CE.  The Moirai expect obedience; humanity has chosen defiance.  In the shadow of collapse, Hanna confronts the nexus once more, wielding the forbidden Crown that links human mind to cosmic thread.  The final cut will decide whether civilization inherits true freedom, or unravels into silence.

Hello,

I am on a Samsung A54 5g if that matters, Android phone.

Basically sleep timer works once or twice after a reinstall of Audible. After that, it doesn't matter if I do a timer (like 60 minutes) or End of Chapter. Once the timer runs out, playback ends for a few seconds, then resumes. Any advice? I know there is a way to "rip" my library so I can use them in a maybe less buggy app, but I'd rather use the official app if there's a way to make it work properly.

I am looking for duet/full cast audiobooks that I can get while the sale is still going.

I've already gotten quite a few books, but I just wanna see if there's anything I might've missed/even be interested in that I can add to my cart between now and Wednesday.

I prefer romance, almost any kind- contemporary, RH, OV, fantasy, PNR...etc(not historical). Would love Black FMC/MMC, if possible. Can be MM books, not FF. I also love a fun whodunnit.

Any recs are greatly appreciated. 📚🤓🎧

Hi!  I am the author of The Chorus Protocol, Book 2 in the trilogy The Loom & The Knife, a collection of sci-fi short stories inspired by Greek Mythology.  If you listened to Book 1 - The Mercy Engine, I have US and UK promo codes for Book 2 - The Chorus Protocol and Book 3 - Nexus Unbridled.  Just send me a direct message and I'll send you the codes.  Thank you!

The Chorus Protocol

Inspired by the Myth of Niobe

In 2744 CE, as the Moirai tighten their grip, Pelia and her allies weave a counter-system from cosmic randomness itself, a chorus meant to drown the voices of gods.  But the new machine hums with its own logic, and each safeguard carries a cost.  When the Moirai push back, the rebels must ask: Is blinding fate freedom, or just another cage?

In a quiet village where evening light lingers and rain speaks softly on old windows, some letters never truly go missing—they simply wait to be heard.

In The Postman Who Wrote Back, we follow Thomas Hartwell, a retired postman who begins an unexpected ritual: opening undelivered letters that have quietly gathered over decades. Rather than letting these forgotten words fade into silence, he responds to them—gently, thoughtfully—sending his replies back into the world in quiet, hopeful ways. What unfolds is a deeply human story about connection, loss, forgiveness, and the enduring need to be heard.

Genre: Reflective Fiction / Gentle Literary Bedtime Story
Narrator: Peter McGiffen
Runtime: 1 hour 29 minutes

So I bought myself a book (first time) and it shows that something went wrong awhile buying. but it took me to the web to listen to it but when I go to the app it shows all the chapters other than chapter one is locked and that I need to buy it. So I went to try and buy it again to try and fix the problem, as I went to the page to get the book again, it shows that circle like it’s reloading something and I don’t know why and how to fix it

Hi All,

Every time my app starts a new book, it automatically plays at half speed. Is there any way to fix this?

Seriously Audible, the new "standard" plan is an atrocity for book lovers. Even at $0.99 it's a scam and the emails with misleading headers are a disappointment everytime.

Is there a way to opt out of "standard" marketing without unsubscribing to all promo offer and sale emails?

I started my account and have only bought books through credits. So far I have bought 10 books and everything was going fine until I logged in today and seen two titles were missing. I contacted customer support and all they keep asking me is the order number for the books that I bought. Easy enough…..

There is no email confirmation. And when I logged into the online account and went to purchase history both books were not in there. Interesting enough, another book I bought was not in my purchase history, but I still have it on the app.

It seems that the online purchase history and the app don’t go together and good luck if you get an email for confirmation. When I contact a customer support they seemed confused on why the app, online site and email confirmations all saying different things.

All in all, not too happy with Audible. I expect when I purchase something I should have it. The account is so new, there is zero chance of me being confused. I even verified it with my debit card that I bought the exact amount of credits needed to buy the books.

That’s my TED Talk, more a rant.
