Amazon Music Unlimited subscribers can now access a new perk—audiobooks! Thanks to a partnership with Audible (an Amazon company), you can listen to one audiobook per month at no extra cost, alongside your favorite playlists and podcasts.
This feature is available to individual plan subscribers and primary account holders on family plans in the U.S., UK, and Canada. It’s a great way to enjoy bestselling books without paying for a separate Audible subscription. If you’re wondering how it all works, here’s everything you need to know to get started.
Finding and Playing Audiobooks
Listening to audiobooks on Amazon Music Unlimited is easy—you don’t need a separate app or account. Everything is built into the Amazon Music app, so you can jump from your favorite album to an audiobook without missing a beat. If you’re not already a subscriber, you can try the service free for 30 days.

To find audiobooks, open the Amazon Music app and tap the “Audible” section at the top. From there, you can browse the available titles, including a mix of bestsellers, new releases, and popular classics. Once you’ve picked one, you can stream it instantly or download it for offline listening—perfect for long commutes or workouts.
Monthly Audiobook Limit
There is one catch: you can only listen to one audiobook per month. Once you pick a title, that’s your book for the month, and you won’t be able to swap it out until your next billing cycle. If you don’t finish it in time, no worries—you can keep listening as long as you stay subscribed.
However, if you decide to switch to a new audiobook before finishing the current one, the old one disappears. If one book a month isn’t enough, you might want to check out Audible Premium Plus, which gives you more flexibility and access to a bigger catalog.
Additional Features and Options
Amazon Music makes audiobook listening simple and customizable. You can adjust the playback speed to go faster or slower, set bookmarks to save important moments, and pause and resume anytime without losing your place.
Since audiobooks are built into the same app as your music and podcasts, everything stays in one place. Whether you’re streaming at home or downloading for offline listening, it’s an easy way to mix books into your daily routine.
Conclusion
The addition of audiobooks to Amazon Music Unlimited is a nice perk for subscribers.
For casual listeners, this is an easy way to access music, podcasts, and audiobooks, all in one app for one monthly fee.
For heavy listeners, the one book per month will likely feel limiting vs. a full-fledged audiobook service such as Audible. I recommend checking out Audible Premium Plus instead (it also has a free trial).
If you’re already a subscriber, open the Amazon Music app, pick your first audiobook, and start listening!

FAQ
1. Can I listen to more than one audiobook per month with Amazon Music Unlimited?
No, you’re limited to one audiobook per month as part of your subscription. If you want more, you can explore Audible Premium Plus, which offers additional audiobooks and a larger selection.
2. How do audiobooks work on Amazon Music Unlimited?
Amazon Music Unlimited subscribers can listen to one audiobook at a time. Each month, you can continue to listen to the same title or select a new one. If you have a monthly plan, you can select a new title starting the day your subscription renews. For example, if your subscription renews on the 15th of the month, you will be able to select a new audiobook on the 15th of each subsequent month. With an annual plan, customers can select a new title starting the same date each month of your initial subscription date.
3. Can I listen to audiobooks offline with Amazon Music Unlimited?
Yes! You can download audiobooks in the Amazon Music app to listen without an internet connection, just like you would with music or podcasts.
