Libro.fm is an audiobook service designed to support independent bookstores across the country. When you buy an audiobook through Libro.fm, a portion of every purchase goes directly to the independent bookstore you have chosen to support. You get a great audiobook, and a local bookstore you care about benefits from the sale.
This makes Libro.fm a meaningful alternative for people who love books and want to support their communities rather than sending all their spending to a large corporation. Independent bookstores have faced tough competition for years, and Libro.fm was built specifically to help them thrive in the digital age.
Libro.fm's audiobook catalog is extensive — most major titles and bestsellers are available, and the selection is comparable to what you would find on Audible, which is Amazon's audiobook service.
You have two ways to pay for audiobooks on Libro.fm. The monthly membership gives you one credit per month to use toward any audiobook, similar to Audible's credit system, for a flat monthly fee. Alternatively, you can pay as you go and purchase individual audiobooks at their listed price without a subscription.
The Libro.fm app is free to download on iPhone and Android. Your audiobooks are stored in the app and download to your device so you can listen without an internet connection. You can also listen in your web browser at libro.fm if you prefer.
Libro.fm lets you gift audiobooks to others, which is a thoughtful option for book lovers. The recipient gets an email with a link to claim their audiobook, and they can choose their own bookstore to support when they sign up.
