Bookworms – or should that be audiophiles – new to the platform can sign up for a 30-day free trial to cash in on a free audiobook (again, two for Prime members), picking from a world class range of fiction and non-fiction. Been mulling over forking out for Michelle Obama’s Becoming? Now’s your chance (and the audiobook is narrated by none other than the former first lady herself). Missed out on 2018’s Sally Rooney mania? Here’s your perfect opportunity to delve in.

Audible isn’t just great for the beach either; whether you’re driving, on the tube, or working out, audiobooks are a great way of engaging your brain without engaging your hands. While podcasts are all well and good, they’re just not going to satiate your need for narrative arc, literary innovation or immersive escapism. That’s where the mighty – and hitherto underappreciated – audiobook comes in.

Once the 30-day trial has elapsed, Audible costs £7.99 per month, cheaper than Netflix’s new standard tariff – and altogether more enriching. Plus, you’ll get one free audiobook a month, along with exclusive access to events, deals and promotions and unlimited listening to Audible Original Podcasts at no extra cost.

If you do decide the platform’s not for you, you can cancel without paying a single penny. What’s not to like?
