Audible Free Trial: Get 2 premium audiobooks for free
amazon offers 30 off annual audible deal with 099 echo dot  1

Everything has gone digital, even books. But it stretches even further than ebooks, now you don't even have to read books yourself. That's crazy, you say? Maybe, but it also means you can listen to books anytime. Audiobooks can be listened to during daily commutes, or if you find yourself with tired eyes and still have the desire to get lost in a book, Audible is a great service to consider. The books are recited audibly, on whatever device you're using, leaving your hands free. As far as audiobooks go, Amazon’s service is one of the most popular available, with a huge library and a well-priced subscription plan. Like any subscription service, a free trial is a fantastic way to see what you’ll be paying for, and there is a Hulu free trial and a Disney Plus free trial, by comparison. Read onward for more details on what an Audible free trial looks like.

You won’t believe how cheap this iPad is, thanks to Cyber Monday
apple ipad 10 2 air deals amazon summer sale 2020 inch hero 720x720

Most shoppers who are on the lookout for Cyber Monday tablet deals are likely hoping to take advantage of Cyber Monday iPad deals. If you're one of them, here's an offer that you shouldn't miss -- $59 off for the Wi-Fi, 64GB version of the 2021 Apple iPad, which brings the device's price on Amazon down to a more affordable $270 from its sticker price of $329. You'll have to hurry though because this is your last chance to take advantage of the discount if you missed out on Black Friday. Whenever an iPad's price is slashed, it sells out quickly, like most of the similar offers involving Apple's tablets. There's no other major shopping event this year, so buy the iPad now if you want to receive it ahead of the holiday season.

Why you should buy the 2021 Apple iPad
The 10th-generation Apple iPad was released last month, so the price of the 9th-generation Apple iPad was expected to get slashed in this year's Cyber Monday deals. However, despite the launch of its predecessor, the 2021 iPad shouldn't be considered obsolete, especially if you want to buy Apple's tablet on a tight budget. Between the 2022 iPad and 2021 iPad, last year's model is better suited for light browsing with its larger bezels. This year's model replaces the Lightning port with a USB-C port and moves the selfie camera to above the screen in the landscape orientation -- if neither change excites you, then you're fine with going with the 2021 iPad, especially since both models can run the latest iPadOS 16.
