Anywhere I can get free audio books?

[boredandwinter]

I've been looking for free audio books online.

I've found borrow box from my library but they don't have the books I am looking for which is business type books.

Audible is now £9.99 per month and I'm not sure if it's worth it.

Anywhere else I can get free books with a good selection?

My library does them online from the Libby app. The selection is not as good as audible and you quite often have to put them on hold and wait for copies to become available.

I also have audible and they also have a lot if free content included with membership although often only the first in a series is free to get you hooked.

You can buy a bundle of 3 credits for £18 which means £6 a book so cheaper than normal if it's a book you want to listen to multiple times.

There are plenty of audiobooks on Youtube and spotify.

But I'm not seeing £9.99 for audible, it's still £7.99. That's the cheapest per month price but the most expensive per book price. If you listen to a lot of books its usually good value because of the large free catalogue available to members.

If you aren't an audible member the cheapest ways to get a one-off book are probably:
Ask a member to gift it to you.
Ask a member to buy you a gift membership.
Take advantage of the new members offer.

My library also does free audio books using the BorrowBox( ebooks too) - I use it a lot. You can either create an account linked to your usual library membership or just become a digital only member.

forgot to say - there are also some books on BBC sounds but not a large collection.

You can downgrade audible to silver which is one credit every other month.

I use that alongside Borrowbox and Libby for library books and librivox for classics.

I also buy some books from the google store via Google play points

Kindle unlimited also has audiobooks - think they gave an offer at the moment. Obviously may not do the ones you need but worth looking
