Amazon's Black Friday sale has already begun, and one of the very best early deals you'll find is on Audible, the brand's audiobook service. 

Right now, subscribers can lock in their first four months of Audible Premium Plus for only $5.95 a month, plus a $20 Audible credit — which is 60% off the usual price, not including the extra $20 credit (an Audible Premium Plus membership typically includes a free 30-day trial and then costs $14.95 a month). 

The four-month period also includes credits to redeem one free audiobook of your choosing every month that you get to keep forever, even if you end up canceling your plan. 

How to save 60% on your first 4 months of Audible Premium Plus 

All you have to do to claim the deal is visit the Audible Premium Plus page and sign up for a membership with the discounted rate before December 31, 2022. Note: You have to be signed in to see the deal offer.

In addition to getting access to the entire Audible Plus library, Premium Plus members get a credit every month that can be used to redeem one audiobook to keep forever. Even if you cancel your service (which you can do at any time), you'll still get to keep those titles. 

After the four-month promotional period is up, the service will auto-renew at $14.95 a month until you cancel.

Black Friday Audible Premium Plus FAQ

What's the difference between Audible Plus and Audible Premium Plus? 

Audible Plus is a monthly membership that includes unlimited listening to the Audible Plus catalog, and Audible Premium Plus is the platform's top-tier membership plan that offers a few extra perks. The basic Audible Plus subscription costs $8 a month, while Audible Premium Plus typically starts at $15 a month.

The major difference between the two plans is the content that you can access. In addition to all of the audiobooks and podcasts you get with Audible Plus, an Audible Premium Plus plan also gives you a monthly credit to claim one audiobook from an extended library of best sellers and new releases. The audiobooks you select with these credits are yours to own, even if you cancel your subscription. 

What audiobooks can I listen to on Audible?

Audible features a big selection of audiobooks that you can listen to as part of a subscription, as well as a larger store catalog full of titles you can buy individually. The service as a whole has hundreds of thousands of audiobooks to choose from.

Is Audible worth it?

Audible is the best audiobook platform for most readers thanks to its huge library of titles and its account-sharing options with Amazon and Kindle. The Whispersync feature is particularly handy for Kindle users since it allows you to swap between the written book and audiobook version of a title instantly, without losing your place. 

A Premium Plus plan adds more value by giving you one free bestseller or new release every month. You own the books you redeem with your monthly credit even after your trial ends, so it's an especially great plan to jump on when there's a promotion.
