NEW YORK (AP) — Listen up. Amazon is adding free audiobooks and a digital audio service called Audible Channels to the ever-growing list of perks for members of its Prime loyalty program.
Seattle-based Amazon has been expanding the services and perks it offers members of its $99 annual Prime program, including one- and two-day shipping, beefed up video and radio streaming and other services.
Audible Channels feature a blend of original programs, comedy, lectures and audio editions of news stories and articles.
The channels are accessible by downloading the Audible app. A selection of 50 rotating audiobooks, such as Matthew Quick's "The Silver Linings Playbook" and Anne Lamott's "Stitches" will be available too.
Non-Prime members can subscribe to Audible Channels for $4.95 a month, or $59.40 per year.
