Audible is an audiobook and podcast service owned by Amazon. It offers an audiobook catalog of over 200,000 titles, although the exact titles available to you will depend on local licensing restrictions in your country. Audible Originals are a catalog of titles that are only available to Audible subscribers. 

A paid Audible subscription gives you one or two tokens each month (depending on your plan), and each token can be used to buy an audiobook. Audiobooks purchased through this subscription model are yours to keep, even if you stop subscribing to Audible.

Audible is available in most countries worldwide, but only with a paid subscription. Audible US also offers hundreds of free (mainly “classic”) audiobooks and podcasts. No trial or membership is required — just sign in with an Amazon account (which doesn’t need to be registered in the United States).
