Did you know that there are hundreds of free audiobooks at Storiend that you can enjoy on your smartphone, tablet or computer? And you can create them yourself! We show you how.
The audiobooks are a tradition in the Anglo-Saxon countries, since in the 40s and 50s of the last century they were broadcasted through the radio. In countries such as the United States or the United Kingdom there are audio books of the great majority of best-sellers.
The audiobooks are useful when you want to enjoy a literary work but your hands are busy. For example while you are making food or cleaning the house, or on a long train trip. They are also much appreciated to learn languages.
How to download them
We are going to show you some websites where you can download free audiobooks, legally. Most are offered in an audio file in MP3, OGG, WMA, or similar format. Simply copy it to your computer, smartphone or tablet, or upload it to a Dropbox cloud store, and play it anywhere with a media player.
Is there any way to enjoy free commercial audiobooks, with contemporary authors? Luckily, it is possible. There are public libraries of ebooks and websites like Storiend that allow you to borrow them without paying.
Although we are talking about digital formats, which in theory can be duplicated infinitely, publishers give a limited number of copies of ebooks and audiobooks, so the loans work just like with paper books: you can use it for several days, and finish the term stops working. It is also possible that all copies of the audiobook are borrowed, and you have to wait for others to finish.
