Buy Download Audio Books

The Minnesota Braille and Talking Book Library's (MBTBL) audiobook or talking book collection is our largest and most popular. Most titles are produced or obtained by the National Library Service for the Blind and Print Disabled (NLS). Additional titles are provided by NLS network libraries throughout the country. MBTBL's studio produces talking books using volunteer narrators and text-to-speech. The studio also marks-up commercially produced titles acquired by the NLS.

Registered users can acquire talking books on a USB cartridge via U.S. mail, or they can download titles themselves via NLS's Braille and Audio Reading Download (BARD).

To discover recently added talking book titles, the NLS publishes Talking Book Topics (TBT) bimonthly. TBT is available in audio, HTML, PDF, and Braille (BRF files). The audio versions can also be mailed on cartridge or downloaded from BARD.

If you are blind, have low vision, or have a disability that makes it difficult to read regular print, you may be eligible for the National Library Service for the Blind and Print Disabled (NLS). NLS has an extensive collection of audio and braille books that are instantly downloadable or can be mailed to patrons anywhere in the United States. For more information and to find out how to enroll, call 1-888-NLS-READ (1-888-657-7323) or visit www.loc.gov/thatallmayread.

OK, I don't use audiobooks much but today I bought one for the first time via iBooks and I am totally confused by how this works. I bought it on my iPad, assuming I'd be able to download it to my iPhone to listen to in the car. Later I opened iBooks on my phone and it wasn't there; I looked in the store but it didn't show as purchased, just as something I could buy again. Weird. So then I went to my Mac, and it also is not in iBooks there. In fact, you can't buy iBooks in the iBooks store from the Mac, from what I can see, though you can go to the iBooks store in iTunes and find them. And there's a "my audiobooks" area in iTunes, but it's not there.

Reading some support articles it sounds like you cannot re-download audiobooks and there's no cloud backup? I assumed they'd work like everything else Apple sells (music, books, applications, etc.) and once you buy it, you've bought it. Is that right? If that's not the case I would have appreciated a warning that it wasn't going to work like every other thing piece of digital content they sell.

Audiobooks are a one-time only download, they will not show in the cloud. If you connect the iPad to your Mac and do File > Devices > Transfer Purchases in your Mac's iTunes then it should copy over to the Audiobooks section of your library - you can then play it on your Mac and/or sync it to your phone (and add it to your backup of your downloads/library ; other items are only potentially redownloadable whilst they remain in the store and you don't move countries).

I had the same issue, bought my audiobook last night on my iPad but really want it on my iPhone to listen in the car. Went to download it on my iPhone just like I would music and wasn't listed as purchased grrrr frustrating. ?

Luckily found this post and am going to try to transfer it to my PC and see if I can sync my iPhone that way. Guess I will need to look at either Audible or Amazon for my audiobook purchases going forward. ?

Interesting that if you buy direct from Audible it seems you get a repeat download and a cross platform service. I'm somewhat surprised the limitations on Apple's audiobooks haven't gone the same way they did for music back in 2009, or that anyone buys from Apple. ?

i know you probably think i am lazy for just asking for what someone elses setting are instead or figuring it out my self but i have spent the last 3 days learning the software and renaming my massive music collection so far i am 60,000 files in to my 150,000 file music collection and at this point i just wanted to try to take the easy way out and ask for someone elses setting as i still have at lest 2,000 audio books to do next as well as the remaining 90,000 music files to fix. i guess i was hoping someone would take pity on me.

Could you let us know if it doesn't work only when you use voice commands? Does it work if you start the audiobook playback on another device, like your phone or computer, and then play it through your Alexa device picking it from the Connect list?

Thank you for the quick response. It seems the problem is with launching via voice commands. Previously, no devices were showing up in my phone device list, but today I can see them. I'm not sure what changed. Unfortunately, I can't select any of the Alexa devices from my phone without a Premium account (which I do not have). I was able to launch the audiobook on an Alexa device from my computer. So why can I launch on Alexa from the computer and not the phone without a Premium account? I own the audiobook, shouldn't that be enough to choose where I play it?

Audiobooks are a new format that is currently being tested. The feature and functionality of Audiobooks will be improved over time. We've passed on your feedback about this connectivity issue with Alexa on to our development teams.

Thanks for the question!

Unfortunately, there isn't such an option so far but I wouldn't give up hope

As @Alex has mentioned, Audiobooks are a new format that is currently being tested. As such, the feature and functionality of Audiobooks is expected to be improved over time.

We're here for you should any further questions come to mind.

Cheers!

While I understand some readers preference for print, I think there are just as many, or almost as many, who prefer audiobooks. I like them because I can be productive with everyday tasks while enjoying a good book. And The Levee is a great, well-read, audiobook. The length is perfect.

Last year we announced that users would be able to purchase and listen to hundreds of thousands of audiobooks on Spotify, advancing our vision for making Spotify the seamless one-stop destination for all things audio. Listeners in the U.S., Canada, U.K., Ireland, Australia, and New Zealand jumped on the opportunity to sink into sonic worlds created by some of their favorite authors and narrators.

Fifteen monthly hours means that you can listen the way you want. Will you explore multiple titles from the evolving regularly refreshed selection or stick with one and listen from start to finish? For those super audiophiles who use up their 15 hours before their monthly billing cycles refresh, you can purchase a 10-hour top-up to finish that series. Not sure how many hours you have left? Check it at any time in your in-app settings.

You can also take audiobooks wherever you go, with Spotify available on over 2,000 devices from more than 200 brands. Users with Premium audiobook access can download audiobooks for offline listening as well.

UW Libraries offers e-books on a variety of subjects. You can search for ebooks using QuickSearch and using the 'books, eBooks and Media drop-down function, or you can go directly to the e-book platform of your choice.

One other way to obtain audio books is to do a "word" search in the Maine Infonet catalog with the phrase "sound recording" and some other word(s) that describe your book interest: title, genre, author, etc.

Our library has a few audiobooks (sound recordings) including mostly authors or actors reading literary works, however, the local public libraries have many more popular and contemporary books through streaming platforms (Libby, Overdrive, Hoopla, etc.) and on compact disk. e24fc04721
