What AudiobooksNow is
AudiobooksNow lets customers buy audiobooks individually or join an optional Club Pricing Plan for discounts. Purchased books remain in a customer's library without an active plan. The service lists a catalog of over 480,000 audiobooks and supports listening on the web, Android, and iOS. Customers can stream on the website or download purchases; over 95% of titles are described as DRM-free and available as MP3 downloads, while some titles require DRM and are limited to app or website streaming. Bookmarks sync across listening locations, and fully downloaded audiobooks can be played offline after signing into the app. Free Android and iOS apps are listed, with Android Auto and CarPlay support respectively. Monthly Club Pricing is $4.99 a month after a 30-day free trial; an annual option costs $35.99 a year.
