Over 600,000 audiobooks available through our Libro.fm storefront. Every purchase you make — through membership or à la carte — directly supports [ash-ling] Booksellers. Not Amazon. Not Audible. Us.
You already know Audible. You may already have an account. Here's what we want you to know: every dollar you spend on Audible goes to Amazon. Every dollar you spend on Libro.fm through our storefront sends a portion directly back to [ash-ling] Booksellers in Toccoa.
Libro.fm is an employee-owned, Certified B Corporation — a Social Purpose Corporation built specifically to route money back to independent bookstores. They share profits from every sale with the bookstore you choose. They're not a side project of a multinational corporation. They're a company that exists because people like you decided that how you spend your audiobook dollars matters.
The library is still wonderful. The library is free and we love it. But when you want to own an audiobook — to have it permanently, to listen without a wait list, to gift it to someone — Libro.fm is the way to do that and keep your money in the literary economy you care about.
Same price. Same catalog. Completely different destination for your money.
Getting Started
How to Start Listening
Four steps. Ten minutes. Then you're listening — and every audiobook you buy after this supports [ash-ling].
1
Go to Our Storefront
Visit our Libro.fm storefront using the link on this page or by going to libro.fm/booksellertools. This is our co-branded store — shopping here ties your account to [ash-ling].
This is the only step that happens off our site — and it's worth it.

Already have a Libro.fm account? You can change your designated bookstore to [ash-ling] at any time.
3
Choose Your Plan
Start a $14.99/month membership (one credit per month, 30% off additional titles, credits never expire) or buy à la carte with no subscription. An annual plan is also now available at $169.99/year for 12 credits.
You can pause or cancel anytime without losing your credits.
4
Download the App & Listen
Download the free Libro.fm app for iOS or Android. Sign in and your audiobooks are waiting. Listen in the app, the web player, on CarPlay, Android Auto, Apple Watch — anywhere.
DRM-free means you also own your files and can download them to any device.
These are genuine recommendations from the [ash-ling] team — titles we've listened to and wanted to put in someone's hands. Or ears. Update this section in your CMS whenever staff picks change.
Literary Fiction
James
Percival Everett
Narrated by Dominic Hoffman
"A reimagining of Huckleberry Finn from Jim's point of view that is so brilliant and so necessary that it made me wonder how this story was ever told any other way. The National Book Award winner for good reason."
◆ Recommended by [Staff Name]
Nonfiction — History
The Golden Road
William Dalrymple
Narrated by William Dalrymple
"Dalrymple narrates his own sweeping history of ancient India's influence on the world — and his voice makes it feel like a conversation rather than a lecture. A book that genuinely changed how I see civilization."

Trending on Libro.fm
Top Audiobooks of 2025
The five bestselling audiobooks of 2025 across all Libro.fm partner bookstores — and five titles worth knowing about in the genres our customers love most. All available on our storefront.
A few things experienced audiobook listeners know that beginners don't — and a tip about what makes Libro.fm specifically better than alternatives.
1
The narrator matters as much as the book
A great book with a mediocre narrator is a hard listen. A good book with a great narrator is unforgettable. When possible, sample the first few minutes before committing. Our storefront has audio samples for most titles.
2
Speed up, but not too much
Most listeners find 1.2x–1.4x speed comfortable after a short adjustment period. Above 1.5x, you start to miss the performance. Literary fiction and memoir tend to reward slower speeds; thrillers and nonfiction can handle faster.
3
DRM-free means you keep it forever
Unlike Audible, Libro.fm audiobooks are DRM-free — you download the actual audio files and they're yours permanently. Even if you cancel your membership, every audiobook you've purchased remains in your library and on your device.
4
Audiobooks work in parallel with print
Many readers listen to one book and read another simultaneously — the different mode of engagement keeps them separate in your mind. Audiobooks tend to work best for nonfiction, memoir, and fast-paced fiction; literary fiction often rewards the printed page.
5
Ask us what to listen to
We maintain staff picks on this page and update them regularly. But the best audiobook recommendation is still the one you get in person from a bookseller who knows your tastes. Come find us at 47 Doyle Street or call 706-886-2665.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a Libro.fm account, or can I just browse?
You can browse the catalog without an account. You only need to create a free account when you're ready to purchase. Start at our storefront link and you can look around as long as you'd like.
I already have an Audible account. Can I switch?
Yes. Libro.fm has a "Switch" page that walks you through moving from Audible. Your existing Audible purchases stay with you there, but going forward every new purchase comes through Libro.fm and supports [ash-ling] instead of Amazon. Your DRM-free Libro.fm downloads are yours forever on any device.
How does [ash-ling] actually benefit from my purchase?
Libro.fm shares profits from every sale made through bookstores' co-branded storefronts. We receive 15% on à la carte sales and 10% on membership payments. It adds up — and it's genuinely meaningful for a small independent bookstore like ours.
What if I already have a Libro.fm account with a different bookstore?
You can change your designated bookstore in your account settings at any time. Go to libro.fm/user and look for "Your Bookshop" — update it to [ash-ling] Booksellers and all future purchases will support us.
Can I give an audiobook as a gift?
Yes — Libro.fm supports audiobook gifting. You can send a specific title or a credit gift, delivered by email. It's one of the better gift options we know of for readers, especially readers who have everything.
Where do I get help with my Libro.fm account?
Libro.fm has a dedicated support team reachable at hello@libro.fm — real humans, not bots. For questions about what to listen to next, come find us at the store. For technical account issues, Libro.fm support is the right call.
Ready to Start Listening?
Everything you need is on our Libro.fm storefront — 600,000+ titles, three membership options, and your first audiobook waiting. When you start from our link, every purchase comes back to [ash-ling].
If you already have a Libro.fm account but haven't designated [ash-ling] as your bookstore, it takes 30 seconds to change. Log into your account, go to "Your Bookshop," and switch to [ash-ling] Booksellers. Future purchases will support us from that point forward.
