This is why real people decided to choose Libro.fm.
“If your New Years resolution is to read more books and you want to invest in audiobooks, consider not supporting Jeff Bezos through Audible and instead give @librofm a try! Every audiobook you purchase sends a portion of the profit to your local indie! (Love you @belmontbooks ❤️)”
Emma Giallongo
“Audible is being aggressive with New Year promotions, so a reminder that an Am*zon-free alternative is the wonderful @librofm AND will support the Indie bookstore of your choice! I am currently giving love from afar to @RedBalloonBooks.”
Karuna Riazi
“I started listening to audiobooks a few years ago, ditched Audible once I found out about @librofm—you can choose which bookstore they ‘buy’ from and then proceeds go to the store. I chose @printbookstore (my local independent bookstore!) and have read over 50 books!”
Carla Jean
“When you buy audiobooks from @librofm, in addition to giving money to independent bookstores instead of a billionaire tool, you get great customer service.”
Anne Ursu
“Highlight of my day was telling an audiobook-loving customer about @librofm so their audiobook habit can support us rather than a certain mega corporation with a space program.”
Wild Rumpus Books
“Just a reminder that if you’re a fan of audiobooks (I mean come on, they’re great) if you use Libro.fm, your audiobook purchase directly benefits an indie bookstore of your choice. It’s a great alternative to the other options out there. Can’t recommend it enough.”
