**Audible books can only be purchased using Chrome or Safari, so not from the audible or Amazon app on your phone. They are on your phone immediately after purchasing.
Simple Homeschool always has a list of audiobook deals. Find the list here.

A few thoughts on Scribd
I have never used Scribd, but I did a little bit of research on it, and it also looks like a great choice for audiobooks. It is cheaper than Audible and has many choices. It doesn’t have as huge of a selection as audible (for instance 2 of the last 3 audiobooks we purchased on Audible were not available on Scribd.)
I found this article to be a pretty comprehensive comparison of Audible and Scribd.
Happy Reading! May your ears be filled with the wondrous sounds of great books! 🙂
