Premium Plus members have two ways to listen: the Plus Catalog and credit purchases. Knowing which to use when is key to maximizing value.

When to Use Credits

  • Premium audiobooks: New releases are rarely in the Plus Catalog.
  • High value books: Books above .95 save you money with credits.
  • Keep-forever titles: Credit purchases are yours to keep forever.

When to Use the Plus Catalog

  • Short books under 8 hours — better value listening free.
  • Unknown authors — try before committing a credit.
  • Classic and older books — many are available for free.
