Amazon Music starts a big audio revolution: free audio books for everyone!
From June 26, 2025, Amazon Music's streaming offering in Germany will be significantly upgraded. Amazon Music Unlimited users can look forward to the integration of the popular Audible audio books into the app. This expansion comes at no additional cost to the existing subscription and allows users to stream an audiobook from the extensive Audible library every month, like stadt-bremerhaven.de reported. This means you benefit from a wider range of audio entertainment, including music, podcasts and now audio books.
This new offer is not only available in Germany, but also in other countries such as Italy, Spain, Japan and Brazil. There is an attractive test phase for new customers: you can try out the extended functions of Amazon Music Unlimited free of charge for four months. This also includes access to one free audio book per month - ideal for immersing yourself in the world of stories hifi.de supplemented.

With this integration, Amazon has further strengthened its own position in the field of multimedia entertainment. With over 900,000 titles, including 91,000 German-language audiobooks, Audible offers an impressive selection that meets users' demands for diverse content. However, there are some restrictions: As part of the family subscription, free access to audio books only applies to the main user. And more than one audiobook per month requires an additional Audible subscription, as highlighted in the details of the new feature.
The flexibility that streaming services offer has recently become increasingly important. More and more people prefer to access content via their smartphones and other devices. Surveys show that the number of music streaming subscribers is now over 700 million, a huge increase compared to just a few years ago. Willingness to pay for digital content has also changed over the last decade; Streaming sales have increased from 1.3 billion to over 19.3 billion US dollars, not least thanks to the constantly growing demand for audio books and podcasts statista.com.
With these steps, Amazon Music is positioning itself not just as a provider of music, but as a comprehensive platform for audio content that ideally adapts to the needs of users. One thing is clear: the future of streaming looks promising, and by integrating Audible audiobooks, Amazon Music should gain further ground in the race for listeners.
