And SCRIBD is for the book lover who also likes to read and loves magazines. Like Netflix, when you cancel your subscription you lose access to all the titles you’ve listened to or read. But unlike Audible, you don’t own any specific titles. Like Audible, you have a monthly fee which is $9.99. If you’re more of the Netflix type than the Apple TV type, this app is for you. If you’re only able to listen as you fall asleep, this feature will become your best friend and allow you to wake up without your book having read itself to the end! And Chirp has daily deals and also offers lesser-known books for less! And like Audible, this app has a sleep-timer. You don’t have any monthly fees and you only pay for what your purchase. If you want the benefits without the commitment, Chirp is also a great platform. And if you have middle school or high school-aged kids that have required reading, those books can usually be found on LibriVox! 4) Chirp – No Monthly Fee/You Pay For What You Read You can bring other’s favorites to life by reading a book and uploading it to the site. Plus, you can also read an audiobook for the site, too. Their offerings are limited but they have a ton of classics. One of my favorite platforms and one of the ways you can definitely save money is by downloading LibriVox. All you need to get started is a library card. You can stream books with Wi-Fi or mobile data, or download them for offline use and read anytime, anywhere. They also set lending policies, like how long you can borrow books and how many you can borrow at a time. With Libby, your library chooses which digital books they’d like to provide. The only downside of this app is that you’re limited to 20 titles a month and loans last three weeks for each audiobook (although you can renew it just counts against your monthly limit). With Hoopla, you don’t have to get on a waitlist to check out hot new titles. Libby and Hoopla are very, very similar in that they both loan you ebooks and digital audiobooks for FREE from your local library through your library card. 2) Libby & Hoopla – Free/Library Membership Required.You can either pay (subscribe/$14.95 a month) and get one audiobook credit each month OR you can just download the app and buy an audiobook whenever you’re in the mood. And so those books you’ve purchased, even if you cancel your membership or never buy another one again, stay in your app. After that, it’s $14.95 a month.īasically, there are two ways to use Audible. So, if there is one audiobook you’ve been just waiting to listen to, a free month of Audible might be worth it. While you will have to sign up for the service and pay a monthly fee, the first month is completely free. It comes from my favorite one-stop-shopping outlet, Amazon. ![]() ![]() Plus, listening to a good book is a great alternative to those true-crime podcasts that seem to have lost their juice. You can even listen to them while you’re running, figuring out how to give yourself a gel manicure at home, and even during your shower (this waterproof Bluetooth speaker is the BEST!).Īdditionally, there are a lot of great places for you to snag your audiobooks and some of those resources are free! So while you’re stuck at home with your “favorite people,” turn on your favorite book instead of watching Trolls for the 935,039 time. If you’re in that boat, there are a ton of things you can do to fill your time but I have been using it to knock some books off my list that I’ve been meaning to read for a while.Īnd as an added bonus, listening to audiobooks makes all the other chores and time go by sooo quickly! It’s such a nice pace-changer. If you’re like me, you’ve suddenly found yourself with a little extra free time on your hands and nowhere to go.Ĭalling it “free time” might be a bit of an exaggeration but I’m talking about the time I spend cleaning, doing laundry, sitting outside as Jett and Dash play, and basically anytime I am not entertaining.
