If you're looking to discover new books, podcasts, and radio shows — the latest Black Friday offer from Audible is the perfect place to start. Sign-up before the end of this month, and new and returning Audible users pick any three books from its humongous catalogue to download and keep forever. Usually £7.99, the Black Friday offer drops the cost to just 99p a month.
But this isn't just a Black Friday price crash — Amazon is also offering a £10 voucher to spend on radio plays, audiobooks, and more from Audible. Within 48 hours after you sign-up for your Audible account, Amazon will deposit a £10 cash credit voucher into your account.
That means you'll not only save £21 on a subscription with this Black Friday discount,but you'll only earn £10 from a few clicks.
Audible — the largest audiobook service on the planet — has kickstarted its Black Friday sale. This month, you can secure the popular subscription for just 99p a month. That unlocks access to ad-free podcasts, a slew of original shows from stars like Stephen Fry and Derren Brown, as well as your chosen audiobooks from its vast catalogue. You'll be able to download and keep one new title each month until the 3-month deal expires. Once you've signed-up, Amazon will deposit a £10 voucher into your account at no cost
What's the catch? Well, there isn't one. Digging into the small print of this Black Friday offer, Amazon makes clear that its £10 offer will expire on December 31, 2024 at 11.59pm, so you'll need to find something to spend the cash on before the end of the year. But that's about it.
You can cancel after the 48-hour window — and the £10 credit has been safely deposited into your account — and reap all of the benefits of the next three months of Audible at the (heavily) discounted 99p rate, and not be charged when the subscription returns to full price.
And needless to say, if you're already a regular Audible subscriber, you don't qualify for the £10 freebie.
Audible has a packed catalogue of fiction and non-fiction, with many titles read by the author or celebrated actors. Even when the three-month trial period ends, any Audible books bought with the monthly credit or £10 voucher will be available to listen and re-listen across your devices.
For example, you can stream Prince Harry's tell-all memoir Spare read by The Duke Of Sussex himself, Frank Herbert's Dune book series ahead of the next film instalment with Timothée Chalamet, Killing Eve star Jodie Comer reading Prima Facie, comedian David Mitchell reading his historical bestseller Unruly, or Matthew Perry's autobiography covering his time on the ever-popular NBC sit-com and his battles addiction Friends, Lovers and the Big Terrible Thing.
Not only that, but you'll also be able to listen to ad-free podcasts and Audible Original shows, like Stephen Fry's Victorian Secrets, Sleep Sound With Jamie Dornan, French and Saunders Titting About, Derren Brown's Boot Camp For The Brain, as well as audio documentaries like Chasing Ghislaine and Countered Terrorism.
Audible is available across a wide range of popular devices, including iPad, Android tablets, iPhone and Google and Samsung phones, smart speakers, and more

Audible usually costs £7.99 per month, so you'll save an impressive £21 over the three months.
The last time Audible dropped in price was during the annual Black Friday sales in November 2023. However, it was discounted to £2.99 for 3 months — making this latest promotion a better offer, since you'll only need to spend £2.97 over the course of the three month period, provided you don't decide to cancel your subscription.
Audible memberships are available with either 1 credit or 2 credits each month. These can be spent on an Audible book, a classic radio series, or some podcasts, like Alan Partridge: From The Oasthouse. Over the course of the three months included with this latest 99p deal, you'll be able to buy 3 audiobooks or series.
Audible is available on iPhone, iPad, Android smartphones and tablets, certain Kindle e-readers, Amazon Fire tablets, as well as smart speakers like the Amazon Echo, Echo Show, and Sonos, to name just a few devices. Progress is synced via the cloud, so you can pause in one app and resume in another without missing a sentence.
Amazon's audiobook streaming service has boomed in popularity in recent years, with subscribers devouring fiction and non-fiction alike on packed trains during their daily commute, gym sessions, or while doing some household chores. If you can't find time to curl up with a book, this 99p trial could be a good moment to give the audiobook and podcast service a go.
Audible isn't the only one kickstarting its Black Friday sale ahead of the day itself, which falls on November 29 this time around. iRobot, the brand behind Roomba robot vacuums, has cut prices by £700, lowest-ever Sky TV subscriptions, EE offering generous discounts across its full-fibre broadband — and will even pay £300 to get you out of an existing contract, Ninja dropping its award-winning air fryers to below £70, Surfshark offering 4 months of its VPN for free, and Virgin Media giving away broadband and Disney+ until early 2025, to name just a few.
