Audiobooks are having a boom in popularity, and for good reason. They can make reading a book more accessible in situations where it might be hard to sit down and read, like while running, commuting, or taking a shower. Audiobooks are also often cheaper than physical books, and they can be streamed or downloaded for free. But do you know how to get the most out of your audiobook listening experience? In this article, we’ll talk about how to find and consume free audiobooks online.

How to listen to audiobooks for free

If you have a library card, your local library might offer an Audible-like service that offers free downloads of English-language books. Many libraries are now working with major content providers like OverDrive, Hoopla, and Recorded Books to offer their customers digital audiobooks. You can typically access these through a library app, such as Libby, or on your computer.

Most of these apps work similarly to Audible, with users paying a monthly fee in exchange for credits that can be used to get audiobooks. Depending on the service you use, this can be less expensive than buying audiobooks individually, as it gives you one credit per month (which usually gets you one full-length book) and discounts on every additional audiobook you purchase.

However, it’s important to note that it’s still illegal to share copyrighted materials on YouTube, since this is a direct violation of their terms of service. As such, you’ll likely want to avoid YouTube if you’re looking for legal, ethical, and high-quality audiobooks.
