Can you tell me about Audible subscriptions?

DS(14) loves audio books and listens to them every night, but usually the same thing again and again. At the moment it’s Sherlock Holmes. In the past it’s been Harry Potter, Greek Myths, Roald Dahl etc. We’ve usually got them on CD, and then copied them to the iPhone Apple Books app.

I was thinking about getting him an Audible subscription, but find it’s not well explained how it works.

I think he would get a credit each month to choose a book with. Is that right? Do all books therefore cost one credit? (If buying on Apple they are anything from £5-£50).

If we stop the subscription, does he get to keep the books?

Does it work with family sharing? i.e. could his brother borrow the audiobook? It looks like you need to set up some kind of family account to do this? Does that mean everyone would need their own (paid) account linked together?

Is there any parental control on it? At his request, he wouldn’t want to purchase graphic content by mistake. I also wouldn’t want him accidentally spending a lot of money on books given I assume my card would be linked to it.
