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.

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.

How is Libro fighting book bans?

We work closely with organizers to fight legal challenges, raise awareness, & activate our community. This year, we raised over $55k for public libraries & helped organize almost 500 Banned Books Week Read-Ins with Silent Book Club, libraries, & indie bookshops.

Don’t just read banned books, advocate for them:

📚 Learn about bills being passed & contact your reps.
📚 Get involved with your school board.
📚 Support your public library via donations, volunteering, and their board.

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.

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.
