Check whether you have to pay separately for Kindle and Audible. IME, one used to be able to buy a Kindle book and then add on a modest fee (like $3) to have the Audible version as well.
It gets very expensive to keep buying Kindle/Audible.
If your child has a reading related disability, ask your school to qualify him for Bookshare, which is a program run by US DoEd special ed programs to give access to reading materials to those with qualifying disabilities.
You can also qualify for Learning Ally, another program for kids with print disabilities, but you have to pay about $130 and year. My DS is in HS and still uses it. It costs more, but has more options in terms of natural reader voices. Although, TBH, it has been a number of years since I looked at both Bookshare and Learning Ally and compared.
Both organizations give you access to a huge range of books - practically everything in print, especially Bookshare.
I had to ask my IEP team specifically about this (morons), and had to escalate to the HIAS team within MCPS, who is spectacular and qualified DS without any problems.
