So you want to join the world of audiobooks, but don’t know where to start? You’ve come to the right place. We have the best audiobook apps for Android and iPhone, free options, paid audiobook subscriptions, and a slew of sites for quick, bite-sized listens. Here’s the skinny: Reading with your ears is not very different from reading with your eyes. You can get free audiobooks through your library (or library’s app), you can find books in the public domain available for free, or you can buy audiobooks individually. But in the audiobook world, sites offer subscriptions, which save you money. Subscriptions range from about $10 to $15 a month, and if you listen to a book a month, that’s some nice bang for your buck. Especially considering the price of a new hardcover. Most audiobook subscriptions offer a free one-month trial, so there’s really no downside to giving audiobooks a try. Listen to murder mysteries while you wash the dishes, self-help books while you drive, or romance while you garden. Audiobooks don’t have to be replacements for print books—they’re an addition. In 2016, 26 of the 125 books I read were audiobooks. That’s a 20 percent increase in books! Here’s the best audiobook apps, free or paid, to get more books into your ears.
