Audiobooks: the hands-free reading experience

Books are a great place to escape the hustle and bustle of life. With that said, it’s becoming harder to find the time to settle down with a good novel. Audiobooks are a great solution, offering the perfect format to indulge in a few chapters while driving or multi-tasking. These audiobooks websites make listening to new titles easy and accessible.

Audible
Amazon’s platform stands out for its extensive library
Audible offers more than 200,000 titles and unique Audible originals that you can listen to on any device. A $14.95 per month plan gets you 1 credit (2 for Prime members), good for any premium selection titles you like and access to podcasts, audiobooks, guided wellness, and Audible Originals.

Google Audiobooks
Buy without being locking into a subscription
Although its selection of titles is smaller than Audible’s, thousands of audiobook titles are available through the Google Play store. Google Audiobooks only sells audiobooks individually- eliminating the monthly fee to access affordable prices.

Rakuten Kobo Audiobooks
More affordable audiobook subscription platform
The real advantage of Kobo is affordable subscription pricing. A monthly fee of $9.99 gets you a new audiobook, regardless of listed price. You can also purchase standalone titles. Listen anywhere on the go with the free Kobo App.

Librivox
Best place to save $ with public domain audiobooks
Find completely free audiobooks to download and listen to. How is that possible? LibriVox only offers public domain titles, which are typically based on novels or non-fiction works written decades ago, long enough for their copyright protection to have expired.
