Does Apple Books charge a monthly fee subscription?

I’m new to this so forgive me in advance. AudioBooks claims if you purchase an audio book on Amazon that you can use their app for free to listen. However, AudioBooks wants a monthly subscription in order for me to listen to it? Am I missing something? Does Apple Books charge a monthly subscription as well?

Apple does not offer a subscription service for audiobooks or for ebooks sold by Apple.


If you purchase an audiobook or an ebook from Apple, you get charged once, and have access to it for the foreseeable future.


Same for the free book downloads from Apple, and for the free downloads sourced from Project Gutenberg or such.


You can acquire subscription services from other sources, though those usually (always?) come with their own apps for viewing the subscribed content.
