The goal isn't to buy perfect. Buying better means making conscious choices and trading a little convenience and a little money for a little better world where we can.

This February, we saw a 275% increase in new Libro.fm memberships compared to February 2024.
More and more individuals are choosing to support their independent bookshop—and their local communities—over Amazon/Audible. Thank you for supporting your indie with us ❤️

As a certain ~date~ given by a certain ~corporation~ approaches, after which users will no longer be able to download their ebooks...
We're DRM-free, meaning you actually own your audiobooks. You can download the files whenever, & listen to them wherever.
I know, I know...not ebooks. But still 😉

If your company is focused on making the world better, let me know so I can put together some starter packs. This can be journalism, a manufacturer focusing on sustainability, a company that's taking a less corporate take on something, or even just "we're small and local and awesome!"
