Amazon offering Audible subscription free for 30 days this World Book Day
World Book Day is officially here and it's inspiring many of us to pick up a book. For some readers words on a page don't quite do the trick but there's a way to read that book everyone's talking about without having to look at it.
Audible is Amazon's audiobook platform and for this month only they're allowing Prime members to get an audiobook for free when they take out a trial on the subscription. This gives new subscribers one credit they they can use to purchase any book across the site - and if you don't like the book you can return it and start over with your credit.
This lets you listen to some books on the day they're released without having to wait for delivery and Amazon has exclusive readings that you won't get anywhere else. Not only that but you get full access to the Plus Catalogue.
In the Plus Catalogue you can listen to hours and hours of free audiobooks in addition to your credited book. If you've been meaning to get around to reading a classic novel but kept putting it off then there's the extra motivation of having them read to you by your favourite celebrities.

Kate Middleton swears by £19.99 rosehip oil that helps 'reduce wrinkles & scars'
It's easy to multitask with an audio book (Getty Images/Image Source)Perhaps it's a little bit easier to tackle Jane Austen when it's Rosamund Pike making you fall for Mr Darcy. There are podcasts specifically made to help you drift off for a more restful night sleep and countless self help books that can keep you busy.
Here at the Mirror our resident bookworm Jada Jones swears by Audible. She said: "I love reading, in pretty much any format, but audiobooks are something I'm particularly fond of. When I'm in the shower, doing household chores or trying to sleep I still like to be absorbing a story in some capacity and Audible has made that possible.
"I find I go for audiobooks way more often with history and fantasy books and I quite love this because I have no issues with the name pronunciations that people trip up on. They can be quite daunting when they're 700+ pages but it feels more manageable when it's just something I have on while I'm cooking or unwinding.
"I've been an Audible subscriber on and off for years and more recently upgraded to two credits a month. I probably listen to more than that each month as I love taking advantage of the Plus Catalogue and I've often popped on Sleep Sounds when I'm struggling to drift off. With the Sleep Timer it's so convenient."
If you're on the fence about trying out the membership then now is a great time as you can cancel within 30 days with no charge if it's not a fit for you. You can sign up to Audible here and pay £7.99 a month after your free trial. Kobo is another audiobook service that offers a read and listen package for £11.99 per month.
