You can download tracks for offline listening on mobile devices through the Prime Music app. Household members with separate Amazon accounts can each enjoy independent Prime Music profiles.

Prime Reading Library and Content Rotation
Titles Change Regularly
Prime Reading offers a selection of ebooks, magazines, comics, and kid-content included with Prime. The catalog refreshes frequently, so you will find new titles added and older ones rotated out. Borrowed ebooks remain in your library as long as they are available for lending.
Device Compatibility and Offline Reading
Read on the Kindle app, Fire tablets, or through the Prime Reading website on computers and mobiles. You can borrow one title at a time and keep it as long as you like, even offline after download. Not all books are available for borrowing in every region due to publisher restrictions.
