    Dear Amazon. Do whatever you want with ancillary audible services. Include limited audible access for prime music subscribers. Add podcasts (as long as I can ignore them). Do a cheaper subscription with limited book access. I truly don’t care. Just don’t touch the standard 1 or 2 credit per month subscription tiers you have. Despite Amazon being a terrible company in many ways, I happily pay for the highest Audible subscription without qualms. As long as you don’t screw it up, I will keep doing so. Please don’t screw it up.

        Amazon will eventually disrupt all of this. Nothing digital is forever, especially when it's the Borg that's in charge of it. They will change whatever is necessary to succeed.

    Starting today, Amazon Music Unlimited individual plan subscribers, and primary account holders to the family plan, can listen to one audiobook at a time—of any length—per month with their subscription. Customers can stream at their convenience and can continue listening to their monthly title after the next billing cycle begins, or select a new one. While Amazon Music offers access to one Audible title per month, customers who want more beyond their monthly listen can subscribe to an Audible membership or purchase titles a la carte directly from the Audible app.
