Hi, we are an alternative to Amazon-owned Audible 👋🏻 With us, you select the independent bookshop you want to support (we have 3,000+ partners across the globe), and we share profits from your purchase with them.

We're also employee-owned and a registered Social Purpose Corporation.
It's healthy to give ourselves a mental health break 💓

Unplug from the bustle and into an audiobook and let your body rest, even if for only a few minutes.

Know who really ruined the workplace?

A certain mega retailer who has put countless small businesses literally out of business.

Who needs cuffing season when you have audiobooks?

Temps might be dropping, but supporting your indie bookshop will keep you hot 🔥

Your indie needs your help this holiday season 💕

Support your bookshop when you gift audiobooks from Libro.fm.*

*An employee-owned, Certified B Corp…and not a giant corporation

Know what we find really terrifying?

⏭ When people interrupt our reading.
⏭ Companies that send their CEO to the moon, all while trying to put small bookshops out of business.
⏭ The realization that we'll never get through our TBRs.

Food is a right, not a privilege.

We know many members of our reading community, including our bookselling partners, will be impacted ❤️ Here's how to help, and where to find help. ⁠

Without fail, every year when Halloween comes around, I make an "audioBOOOOOOks" joke. Then I giggle to myself, as if I'm the most clever girl in school.

A trip to the indie bookshop or local library (or supporting them online) instead of placing an order through a mega-retailer.

Heading to a local coffee shop instead of an international chain.

Joining an indie's book club, fostering IRL connections.

Asking a librarian instead of relying on AI.

Super duper fun fact of the day: alternatives to Amazon-owned Audible exist 🙃

Internal documents reviewed by the New York Times reveal Amazon's goal to replace 600,000 jobs with robots.⁠

When we support our local businesses, we create a more stable economy—one not at the whim of billionaires. Support your indie bookshop today and every day 💓⁠

Looking for an every day action that creates change in your community & beyond? Shop at small businesses, like your indie bookshop!

Not only do we support our local economy, but we benefit public resources like education, transportation, health care, libraries, & more.

Hello 👋 from the audiobook company that shares profits with 4,000+ independent bookshops across the globe, is an employee-owned Certified B Corp, and really, truly cares about booksellers and readers everywhere 💓

Indie bookshops care about your community because they are a part of your community.

And while there are mega retailers out there trying to convince us that we don’t need these small businesses, they could never do what indies do.

It's Wednesday, which means it's pretty much Thursday, and obviously Thursday is just a vehicle to Friday, aka the weekend. So basically, it's the weekend.

In sum: You made it through the week. You deserve a new audiobook.

One of our core values is “We are humans, not bots.” Here are 3️⃣ examples of how we live up to that promise ⤵️

Me every night: I should sleep.
The voices in my head: One more chapter.
Me: Okay, fine.

*Twenty minutes later*

Me: Okay, maybe just one more.

What sets us apart from Audible? Let us count the ways:

📚 Every purchase supports your indie bookshop
💗 Employee-owned, Certified B Corp, & Social Purpose Corporation
📖 DRM-free (you own your audiobooks)
🤖 Bookseller driven, not algo driven (& our customer support team = real people, not robots)

Your reminder that 29.3% of all revenue from indie bookshops immediately recirculates in the local economy 😊

That's 4x more than Amazon.

When you buy audiobooks through Libro.fm, you're supporting not only your indie, but your local economy.

Learned about @libro.fm at ALA annual— it’s an audiobook app where you pick your fav indie bookstore and the audiobooks you buy support them. Putting my money in better places is at least somewhat in my control, and I need that when so much else is out my control.

We work every day to encourage more people to read, all while supporting their local, independent bookshop ❤️⁠

Bans on books, media, and news are all connected.

Let’s keep fighting censorship of all kinds. Support independent booksellers, media, publishers, and businesses working to share essential stories. And support the authors and journalists telling these essential stories.
