You will need a library card for your local library to get all these glorious freebies. Just install the app and read or listen… Well, there is one caveat. Completely, FREE and no trials, or paid subscription. Libby is just an updated version of the OverDrive app for Android and iOS devices that lets you read and listen to audiobooks and read eBooks for FREE. OverDrive and Libby are pretty much the same thing. A fresh and easy way to borrow and read from your library. I was just about to give up when I found OverDrive and Libby. I ended up finding that there are some free audiobooks from Amazon if you have a Prime account, but they are not easy to find (thanks a lot Amazon) and they aren’t new releases or best sellers. I don’t need an extra $14.95 a month bill that only gives you 3 books a month, so I went searching for alternatives. Instead, I think I just got a one-time freebie and was prompted to sign up for a 30-day trial or a full subscription. Getting started with OverDrive Read What is OverDrive Read OverDrive Read is a browser-based eBook reader that works on most computers, tablets, and mob. I was confused when the same book started over and I later found that my Amazon Prime membership must not cover audiobooks like I thought it might. I finished AWOL on the Appalachian Trail this weekend (great read/listen if you enjoy hiking stories like I do) and asked Alexa to read me a new book when I hopped in the shower on Sunday. I found myself looking forward to getting up in the mornings just so I could get in another 10-minute listening session in the shower followed up by a 20-minute session on the way into work and then another on the way home. Instead of listening to the radio or Spotify on my 20-minute drives to and from work, I listened to the book.

But from the moment Alexa started the audiobook AWOL on the Appalachian Trail by David Miller, I was hooked on audiobooks.
