Amazon Adds Another Prime Benefit: Free Podcasts from Audible Channels and Free Audiobooks

Amazon this morning rolled out another perk for subscribers to its Amazon Prime membership program: free access to Audible’s short-form digital programming called Audible Channels, as well as a selection of free audiobooks. Amazon says members will have access to a rotating selection of over 50 audiobooks from Audible’s catalog.

That’s similar to how the Kindle Lending Library works – members don’t get to check out just any book, but instead can pick and choose from a selection of those available for lending.
