Amazon Music Unlimited subscribers can now press play on audiobooks.

Beginning Tuesday, customers of the music streaming service in the US, UK and Canada have a new perk: Audible's catalog of more than 1 million audio titles, Amazon said in a press release. One audiobook per month is up for grabs for individual plan subscribers and family plan primary account holders. 

Once a new monthly billing cycle starts, subscribers can choose a new book or continue listening to the same one. There's no extra cost or limits on book length, Amazon said.

An Amazon Music Unlimited individual plan is $10 per month if you have an Amazon Prime membership and $11 if you don't. (Prime includes access to Amazon Music Prime and ad-free songs and podcasts, but you can't pick and play any song you want or download music to listen to offline unless you have Amazon Music Unlimited.) Currently, new Amazon Music Unlimited customers can try it free for three months.

If you want to listen to more than one book a month, Audible plans start at $8. Here's a guide to the best music streaming services, including Spotify, which offers 15 hours of audiobook listening time per month with its $12 premium individual plan.
