Listen up, readers: We know the world of audiobooks can be intimidating. You may not know where to find them, what to look for in a narrator, or if they’ll fit into your daily life. That’s why we’re here with an easy guide to getting started. Here, we break down why we love audiobooks, how to start listening, and a few of our tips and tricks for picking the right audiobook for you.
Why audiobooks
If you’ve spent years reading physical and ebooks, you may wonder what the fuss is about audiobooks. You may even be reluctant to part from the sensation of holding a book in your hands as you lose yourself in the story. But don’t let your habits stop you from testing the waters of a new way to enjoy your favorite activities. Here are just a few of the reasons why audiobooks are great.
Multitask like a pro
Torn between reading and doing the dishes? Not with audiobooks. Everything from chores to running errands to hitting the gym becomes more exciting once you press play on an audiobook. The format allows you to be productive in more ways than one!
Time flies
Whether you’re listening as you commute to and from the office each day or on an international flight, audiobooks have the power to keep you entertained.
Achieve your reading goals
Many readers find that their reading speed increases once they start listening to audiobooks. Part of this is because they can multitask and read, but it’s also because readers can adjust the narration speed to go faster than reading with their eyes alone.
Exclusive content
Audiobook narrators can take your reading experience to the next level. By giving voice to the characters and the prose, a great narrator can transport you into a story and make you feel as though you truly know the characters. Plus with full-cast recording, music, and sound effects, audiobooks make the listening experience as immersive as possible.
Get starstruck
Do you want more Lin-Manuel Miranda in your life? What about Meryl Streep? With audiobooks, you can listen to your favorite actors anytime you want to.
Exclusive goodies
Some audiobooks come packed with extras like author interviews, podcasts, behind-the-scenes insight, and more to round out your reading experience.

Ways to listen

When it comes to audiobooks, there are both paid and free subscription services. We’ll outline some of the most popular below, but we recommend taking a close look at each platform yourself to find the best fit. Try searching for books or authors you know you’re interested in reading to make sure that the platform you join has them available. Also, your local library may use a free app not listed below. Ask your friendly librarian to point you in the right direction if Libby and Hoopla aren’t available at your location!
Free audio excerpts
Did you hear the news? Audio Excerpts have come to NetGalley! Start listening now to get a taste for the book and the narrator. We know how important the audio format is to the NetGalley community, and no matter how you read or listen to a book, we want to be here for you! Your early feedback about new books (whether in print, digital, or audio format) is good for all books. And Audio Excerpts are just the beginning! We’re hard at work on our plans to support full audiobooks, and with your help—by submitting early feedback on these excerpts—publishers will be excited to add full audiobooks later this year.
