The number one New York Times best-selling story about American Olympic triumph in Nazi Germany, the inspiration for the PBS documentary The Boys of '36, broadcast to coincide with the 2016 Summer Olympics and the 80th anniversary of the boys' gold medal race. Out of the depths of the Depression comes an irresistible story about beating the odds and finding hope in the most desperate of times - the improbable, intimate account of how nine working-class boys from the American West showed the world at the 1936 Olympics in Berlin what true grit really meant.

Two weeks have passed since Iris Winnow returned home bruised and heartbroken from the front, but the war is far from over. Roman is missing, and the city of Oath continues to dwell in a state of disbelief and ignorance....

Once upon a time, a poor farmer called Ben had a small farm of vegetables. He has a little girl named Ariana. Ariana loves plants and vegetables because her father always teaches her about different vegetables. Ben loves nature with all his heart, and he firmly believes in it. Ben will always take his daughter Ariana to the farm after she comes back from school, and on weekend days, he will take her to the farm to help him do some work.

Exclusively from Audible. 'It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.' So begins Charles Dickens' most famous historical drama: a gripping tale of war, social injustice and the choice between darkness and light. After being unjustly imprisoned for 18 years, French doctor Manette is released from the Bastille jail in Paris and embarks upon a journey to London in the hope of finding the daughter he never met.

Is there an easy way to find the included in membership audiobooks on the app? It seems like you can find only some if you click discover, mixed with ones that aren't free. Where is the complete list of them?

Fortunately there is Libro. Libro is not just an alternative to Audible, they are a superior alternative. Libro has already demonstrated a desire to make enrich the book ecosystem through cooperative, unlike Amazon whose goal is seemingly to extract as much wealth from the ecosystem as possible.

The difference so far is that most U.S. movies and a lot of US and British TV series are available at your public library as a DVD or through your library electronic holds. Not so with the exclusive amazon audiobooks.

So far it sounds like they will never allow public libraries to pay them so those audiobooks are available to folks that can not afford $180 dollars a year for the privilege.

It is reasonable to ask Amazon to change that policy (and they, of course, would get paid for library use so that is not the holdup)

When you suggest that we switch from Audible to Libra, does that mean that I can only get a Libra account if I close down my Audible account? I am happy to support my local bookstore, but I would also still like to have access to some Audible titles, especially if they are Audible Exclusives. Thank you. I actually get most of my audiobooks through my regional libraries, but Audible is useful if I need a title in a hurry for a book club.

Hi, Paul. Thank you for your feedback. While we are unaware of any current legal proceedings to this effect, we do champion accessibility for audiobooks and their listeners. Thanks for your support, and for joining the conversation.

Hi, Tore. Thanks for your feedback. Here at Libro.fm, we strongly believe that exclusivity is the enemy of accessibility. We support authors, bookstores, and consumers by forming a bridge between them in order to support local communities. One example of this is our Bookstore Champions initiative ( ), which celebrates individuals who go above and beyond to advocate for local, independent bookstores. We understand if your viewpoints differ from ours. Thanks for joining the conversation.

Furthermore, I know and love four close friends who are disabled, who used to live in poverty, who now are financially safe because of Amazon. Three of them write ebooks, often Kindle exclusive, and one narrates on ACX from home.

IndoorCat, I feel like you are not grasping the point of this article. No one is suggesting not using Kindle or Amazon, or that all content on every platform should always be made available for free. But Amazon Exclusives are not able to be sold even through bookstores, and people can ONLY access that content through Amazon. These are not like Netflix Originals which are produced by Netflix. These are books from many authors and publishers whose distribution is completely controlled by Amazon. If access is important to you, and it sounds like it is, this is a situation you should not support. Also, just as you do not wish to be spoken for, your characterization of indie bookstores does not at all match my experience of them. For the record, I am a disabled person.

Thank you for alerting me to this disturbing phenomenon. I got Born a Crime a few years ago from a free sign-up offer on Audible, and it is my favorite audiobook ever. I had no idea how lucky I was. Is there a good way to contact Trevor Noah about it? I assume he is aware.

How is this different from Netflix creating their own content and restricting to Netflix subscribers? Audiobook versus movie? I find this post to be pretty weird and disingenious. I no longer will be subscibing to libro. You should focus on innovating and competing instead of slinging mud. Just my two cents.

Thanks for commenting, Brian! We firmly believe that audiobooks and the knowledge and perspectives they contain should be accessible to a wide audience, including bookstore and library patrons. Thanks for sharing your perspective.

I use my local library for almost all of my audiobooks, but sometimes they do not the book I am looking for. There should be a way to rent an audiobook, does anyone know if there is a site that lets you borrow a book for a fee.

Coexisting but conflicting needs create self-sabotaging behaviors. This is why we resist efforts to change, often until they feel completely futile. But by extracting crucial insight from our most damaging habits, building emotional intelligence....

If you purchased books or audiobooks from the Book Store or Audiobook Store on other devices, you can download and see those purchases on your Mac. You can also download books and audiobooks purchased by family members (if you use Family Sharing) and get updates.

Audiobooks first emerged in 1932 with the establishment of a recording studio by The American Foundation for the Blind, which created recordings of books on vinyl records. Each side held about 15 minutes of speech. The following year, Congress passed an amendment that allowed the Library of Congress to begin producing audiobooks.

As audiobooks have become more popular, there have been countless debates over the best applications and ways to digest the medium. Audible is among the most used paid subscription platforms, with apps that can be downloaded on smartphones, iPads, desktops and Kindle, but there are also plenty of free applications through local library systems, such as Hoopla and Overdrive.

Platt said the biggest change for the audiobooks was the move from cassette tapes to CD players in cars. He recalled an entire suitcase of cassette tapes when someone once checked out an audio version of the Bible.

In their 2016 annual report, the Audio Publishers Association, which tracks the industry, found that sales totaled $2.1 billion in 2016, an 18.2 percent increase from the previous year. Compare that to $1.8 billion of hardcover copy books sold in 2016.

The amount of available audiobooks has also increased. In 2016, 51,000 audiobooks were published, up from 7,200 in 2011. Making an audiobook has become a much faster and more widely practiced option for publishers, Platt said.

The biggest question about audiobooks is: Does listening to a book count as much as reading it? Some traditional readers may scoff at listening to a great classic, having tried audio and hated it. Meanwhile avid audiobook listeners say they read and comprehend more with audio, and that it allows them to read more books.

Mobile devices also allow readers to constantly listen, optimizing their time and reading more, and some argue that audiobooks are yet another way to always stay online, drive productivity, and constantly be in the know.

Because local bookstores desperately need our support right now, Libro.fm is offering a special deal: when you start a membership with code CHOOSEINDIE, you get two audiobooks for the price of one ($14.99), and 100% of your payment will go to the independent bookstore of your choice.

The audiobooks.com app is great! You can do a monthly subscription and even share it with family members. They do different 2-for-1 deals each month, and your subscription comes with a free VIP download each month as well. You can also access podcasts through the app making it easy to everything in one app.

My library subscribes to RB Digital.. I love it! There are thousands of books to chose from in many different genres. You can put audio as well as digital books on reserve. In addition you can look up title by keywords such as author, reader and even main character. A feature I like is that if an audiobook times out after 2 weeks, when you get it back it picks up where you left off. I listen on my phone as I walk by pups (at least twice a day!)

I have used Scribd for years. There is no return date The audiobook you have downloaded is NEVER cut off. The subscription is less than 15.00 a month.Audiobooks from every imaginable genre are available.One drawback is you have to learn through browsing which categories to avoid. After a month you will know those.You will learn which authors to avoid. Another drawback is only half of a series is available sometimes. Other times the complete series is available. Every month a huge number of new titles are added. Before beginning a series you must check on web to find out the number of books are in the complete series or you will end with cliffhanger instead of the compket series. Scribd is the best audiobook site. I have Hoopla,Overdrive,cloudlibrary. I am an audiobook addict. I do not want to buy audiobook. Amazon audible is too expensive. I cannot imagine paying so much just to hear audiobooks. ff782bc1db
