Alternatives to Audible? - Page 3

Hi - I've gotten some great books via iTunes - for example, Jeremy Irons reading "Brideshead Revisited". Also, you can buy one-offs via the kindle shop at Amazon.

The best alternative to Audible and any other digital audiobook service I have found is AudiobooksNow.com

https://www.audiobooksnow.com/

Most of their titles are DRM-free and can be downloaded or streamed from their website. They offer deep discounts on all their audiobooks at all times and they also offer free Apple, Android, and Nook apps.

I know it's an old thread, but it is still relevant (except that BooksOnBoard is defunct)

Downpour.com is another option for audiobooks. They have the option of subscription, but you can buy without subscribing.

I hesitate to recommend Itunes. While they have audiobooks, when my hard drive broke, my 3 audiobooks were gone. You couldn't download them from 'previously purchased.' All my purchased songs were there, but not the 3 audiobooks. It took three months of grousing at Itunes and showing proof of purchase (Yeah, well, never emptied email there for awhile) to get them back to my account. I've never bought another audiobook from Itunes.
