I love podcasts. I listen on Spotify and BBC sounds.
I'd like to listen to audio books but can you do that for free?
I have amazon prime. I don't have an iPhone

I'm useless with technology..how do I find free audiobooks?

Do you mean where can you access free audio books ? Join your local library where you can 'borrow' them by downloading the Libby App. Or do you mean what technology to access them ? Presumably you are using some type of device to access the podcasts ? What do you use for that ?

If you're a library member then you can listen to audio books for free with the borrow box app.

You can join your local library and then use your library card and pin to download or stream audiobooks using the E service that your library subscribes too. My library gives me access to books via Libby and BorrowBox, also magazines from Libby and from PressReader. I’ve also joined the library in the neighbouring county who have a different selection.

Also audible isn’t free but sometimes has offer trials not sure what the current ones are. But if you subscribe for £7.99 a month you get a credit for one audiobook a month plus access to a large library of audiobooks for free.

I use BorrowBox - the subscription that my local library is a part of. You just need a library card and a pin that they give you.
