Libro.fm gives us an audiobook subscription that actually supports local bookstores instead of feeding into corporate giants. It’s refreshing to find a platform that aligns with our values while delivering the same quality experience.

I keep the app right on my phone’s home screen so I can always dive into learning. I’m constantly working through books on creativity and marketing strategy—recently finished “Effortless” by Greg McKeown and I’m re-reading Seth Godin’s “This is Strategy.” These reads help me bring deeper context and perspective to my client work, and honestly, I find it deeply empowering.

Benefits

• Every purchase supports a local bookstore you choose
• Human-curated recommendations from real booksellers, not algorithms
• Same 600,000+ audiobook catalog and pricing as major competitors
• Flexible membership—pause or cancel anytime without losing credits
• Works seamlessly across devices with CarPlay and Apple Watch support

The $14.99 monthly membership gets you one credit for any audiobook, and you can always buy additional credits or purchase books individually. What I love most is getting recommendations from actual booksellers who understand books, not just data points. It’s the perfect alternative for anyone who wants their audiobook habit to support independent businesses while still getting access to all the latest releases and bestsellers.
