Purchasing audiobook listening time
Some Premium plans include monthly audiobook listening time from the audiobooks subscriber catalog. These plans are:
- Premium Individual
- Premium Family (for the plan manager only)
- Premium Duo (for the plan manager only)
To get more audiobook listening time, you can:
- Subscribe to a monthly Audiobooks+ add-on
- Purchase a one-time top-up
Family and Duo plan members can also get audiobook listening time through the Audiobooks+ for Plan members add-on or a top-up, but they must request it from their plan manager.
Audiobooks+ add-ons
How audiobook add-ons work
Audiobooks+ is a recurring add-on subscription added to your Premium plan. Its price is added to your monthly Premium subscription in one bill.
- Audiobooks+ adds extra audiobook listening hours to your own Premium plan each month
- Audiobooks+ for Plan Members lets plan managers add audiobook listening time for Duo or Family plan members each month
Notes:
- You can cancel Audiobooks+ at any time, without cancelling your Premium plan
- Audiobooks+ hours are used after you’ve used the audiobook hours included in your plan
- Audiobooks+ hours reset monthly, you can’t roll over any unused time
How to subscribe to Audiobooks+
You can subscribe to add-ons with a credit/debit card, PayPal, or Google Play Billing.
- Go to your account page.
- Under Subscription, select Plans and add-ons.
- Check the Add-ons tab to see what’s available to you.
- Select Add next to the chosen add-on, and follow the steps to complete the purchase. Note: Your billing date will be moved earlier to reflect the new subscription price.
Note: You must have an eligible Premium plan (Individual, Family, or Duo) to get Audiobooks+. If you cancel your Premium subscription, you’ll lose access to any purchased add-ons.

Audiobook top-ups
How audiobook top-ups work
Top-ups are one-time purchases of extra audiobook listening hours. They’re valid for 12 months from the purchase date, and you can add more than one at a time.
Top-ups are used only when you run out of the listening time included in your monthly plan and any recurring add-ons.
When your monthly audiobook listening time refreshes:
- Your listening will automatically switch back to the new monthly hours from your plan
- Any unused top-up hours stay available and will be used later, after your plan and add-on hours are used up, as long as they haven’t expired
How to purchase top-ups
You can purchase top-ups with a credit/debit card, PayPal, or through Google Play Billing.
- Go to your account page.
- Under Subscription, select Audiobook listening time.
- Under Top-ups, select Top up.
For more information on our refund policy, you can check our Refund policy for purchased audiobook listening hours. Other Terms and Conditions apply.
Notes:
- You must have an eligible Premium plan (Individual, Family, or Duo) to use your top-up hours
- If you cancel your subscription, you’ll no longer have access to your top-up hours unless you resubscribe within 12 months of purchasing the top-up
- Your top-up hours will still be subject to their original expiration date
How to purchase top-ups for plan members
