Purchase Audiobook Listening time

Some Premium plans include monthly listening time for the audiobooks subscriber catalog. These plans are:

  • Premium Individual
  • Premium Family (plan manager only)
  • Premium Duo (plan manager only)

If you’re subscribed to any of the plans above, you can also get more audiobook listening time by topping up.

For Premium Family and Duo plans

Only the plan manager has access to the monthly audiobook listening time included in Premium Family/Duo plans.

Tip: Plan managers can purchase audiobook listening time for their plan members separately

How top-ups work

For: Premium Individual and Family/Duo managers

Top-ups are valid for 12 months from the purchase date.

Your top-ups are deducted once you've used up the monthly audiobook hours from your plan. When your monthly audiobook listening time refreshes:

  • Your audiobook listening consumption will revert to being drawn from the new listening time allotted to you; and
  • Any unused top-up hours will continue to be available when your plan’s audiobook listening time is used up.

Note: You must be subscribed to any of the following to use your top-up hours:

  • Premium Individual
  • Premium Family
  • Premium Duo

If you cancel your subscription, you’ll no longer have access to your top-up hours unless you resubscribe within 12 months of purchasing the top-up. Your top-up hours will still be subject to their original expiration date.

Audiobook listening time for plan members

Family/Duo plan managers can purchase audiobook listening time to let their members access titles from the Premium subscriber catalog.

  • Audiobook listening time is valid for 12 months from the purchase date
  • Multiple audiobook time purchases can be added to the member’s account

Plan members can use the purchased listening time to access audiobooks included in the Premium subscriber catalog.

If the member changes their Premium plan, any purchased audiobook listening time will still be subject to their original expiration date.

Note: If the member leaves the Family/Duo plan, they must be subscribed to any of the following plans to access the purchased audiobook listening time:

  • Premium Individual
  • Premium Family
  • Premium Duo
