Read the article“Another company that underpays the people on which their platform is built has started selling audiobooks, which means it’s time for me to remind you that @librofm exists and a portion of your purchase goes to indie bookstores like us.”
Wild Rumpus Books
“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
“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
“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.”
