Listening to books - not audible?

[Howcanwehelp]

Is there a way of listening to books that's not using audible or do they have a monopoly on the market?

BBC sounds has free books

Borrowbox app is fairly good but think your library needs to be on the scheme so you can ”borrow” the audiobook from them.

I think you can get audiobooks on itunes and they have been a bit cheaoer.

Thanks all
I'll check my library options, I've listened to the ones I fancy on BBC sounds but thanks for the reminder.
I don't have apple products so iTunes is not going to work I think :-).

Our library has subscriptions to BorrowBox and RBDigital. Download the app and then log in with your library card number. There is a waiting list for some popular titles (due to number of licenses) but plenty to choose from. E-books can also be borrowed this way, handy with library’s restricted opening times.

Hi
I've just downloaded borrow box and my library is a member. I don't like reading e books but the option on audio books is great for work.
Thanks all
