When you already own the title there's no way to add it to your Kindle Unlimited library to potentially get free access to the audiobook. It doesn't seem fair that if you have paid for the KU service and purchased the book you can't also access the audiobook  I contacted Amazon CS via chat and they sent me to an Audible rep who didn't really understand my question, so I may just try calling them after a while.
But as Blossom said the selection is nowhere near as broad as Scribd or Oyster. |
I find most KDP audibles to be subpar recordings. I'm very picky when it comes to audio books. Just like the fever series which first three was done by Joyce Bean which I loved. The last two was done by Natalie Ross and some guy who sounded like the incredible hulk. Horrible! I return them. The series I'm listening to now has the same narrator on all books. It's very rare to find this but Tavia Gilbert is awesome. I loved her voice acting on the Shadow Vampire series by Sarah McCarthy so I was excited to see her read the Cat and Bones books.
