Or, if you find yourself with tired eyes and still have the desire to get lost in beautiful prose, 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.
