## Two different rewards

A new **Prime** member is rewarded with time on the whole membership: 30 days of delivery, video and deals, or six months for students and anyone aged 18 to 24. A new **Audible** member is rewarded with a free month of listening, and the size of that month depends on whether you already have Prime.

## Where the two meet

Audible's page for Prime members states that a Prime customer picks **two** free titles in the first 30-day Audible trial instead of one.

## What each costs once the free time ends

Prime rolls onto £8.99 a month or £95 a year (£4.49 a month on the student and under-25 plan). Audible rolls onto £5.99 a month on Standard, which gives one audiobook a month to listen to while you are a member, or £8.99 on Premium, which gives a monthly credit for a title you keep and the Plus Catalogue.

## Who each suits

Prime suits anyone about to place Amazon orders, and above all students and 18 to 24 year-olds, who get six months. Audible suits listeners: commuters, drivers, runners, anyone who gets through books by ear.
