Did you make the switch?
Share why on social!
“I switched to @libro.fm this year when I started reading more audiobooks to help limit my doomscrolling. I’ve been super happy to move away from Amazon while supporting my local bookstore at the same time!”
Kirsten
“@librofm for the support of indies, the fabulous sales, the freebies (pay attention to your indies!), the social good and just great humans who work there.”
Erin Decker
“I finally used the last of my credits on Audible so I was able to officially cancel my audible membership. It’s been on a pause but I just like @libro.fm so much more and I like that I can help support a local store when I buy audiobooks.”
Caffeinated Fae
“As a librarian I use the library for 99% of my books but I loooove my local bookstore and am a book supporter of libro.fm”
ever
“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.”
Clint Smith
“Supporting billionaires is out. Supporting book people is in.”
Jelly Pops Book Club
“Great selection, great prices, great quality, great service, great recommendations (from real booksellers), great interface, and a positive impact on independent booksellers. Zero regrets about making the switch. In fact, it’s a feel good experience every time I listen.”
Chris Ryba-Tures
“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
“Allowed me to fully switch away from that other app without sacrificing anything in terms of quality or availability... It was truly a win-win-win and a no-brainer to make the switch.”
Drew Register
“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.”
