Hey, remember that there's libro.fm as a good alternative to audible! It can even support your local bookstores.

libro.fm Same audiobooks. Different story.

Libro.fm makes it possible for you to buy audiobooks directly through local bookstores.

Awesome things about libro that I like

  • No DRM. You can download the books as you please and store them outside the app!
  • Credits don't expire, and can be gifted.
  • You can support your local bookstore if they are on the app.
  • There's also occasional free audiobooks that the libro.fm drops. For Juneteenth there was a few that they gave out for free.

  • Do you know if it is a US-only/prioritizing service or not? I'm currently looking for an e-book/audiobook service which has a decent library outside of US (or any major EU countries) and most of the options are noticebly lacking in that.

    • What country if you don't mind me asking? I know libro is trying to expand outside the US, but unsure what their coverage is. I do know some ebook/audiobook services in different countries around the world

      • Not at all! I am in Serbia currently.

        The tricky bit is - I am not Serbian myself and would prefer to read mostly in English (it would be great if the service had books/audiobooks in other languages, too, but English is my primary focus for now).

  • Where can I look to see what local bookstores are available?

    • Head over https://libro.fm/indies and enter your location for the closet bookstore to you. If there isn't one or if you don't see one you like, there's also online stores as well. I like how they have tags like, API owned, LGBT owned, etc etc
