There are currently
1,013 titles available for free borrowing. Of these, 346 are available as Whispersync pairs. That means you'll be able to buy the Audible version after checking out the free Kindle version. Granted, this is a very small selection compared to what's available from Kindle Unlimited, but it's free.
Prime Reading is essentially Kindle Unlimited Lite. All titles come from the Kindle Unlimited catalog of over 1.4 million titles.
There's a
discussion thread in the News forum for discussing this new benefit.
Any pertinent questions relevant to audiobooks can be asked here.
thanks, tm
