Also, there are two different types of audio-enabled books available on Epic, pure Audiobooks and Read-to-Me books.
Audiobooks (Purple-tagged): Audiobooks are indicated by a purple tag on the bottom right-hand side of the book that says "Audiobook". These are strictly audio without a visual book and pages to follow along with, perfect for bedtime stories, language learning, and much more! Many of these audiobooks also feature music and songs!
