What is Librophile.com?
Librophile.com (beta) offers a simple interface for finding completely legal free audiobooks and eBooks. You can browse the latest books, search by keywords or choose more broadly by genre or language. You can often listen to chapters online, download a whole book, play a sample or subscribe using iTunes. Librophile.com is available on both desktop and mobile and our ultimate aim is to provide a one stop shop for all the audiobook and eBooks out there. -
How is it a free?
The internet is full of free and legal audiobooks and eBooks but finding them can be hard work. We are here to help by constantly looking for you. Librophile.com maintains an extensive archive of over a million publications and is funded mostly by advertising. Our philosophy is to try our very best to locate a free version for you, however, if there are none then we can often recommend a pay book too. Free audiobooks and eBooks are predominantly contributed by the amazing Librivox.org service and the huge Gutenberg library. Pay books are often provided courtesy of the Audible.com and Barnes & Noble affiliate programs. Other sources include Storynory for children's books.

In addition, the latest thinking in responsive website design means we have a single build that adapts to best fit almost every platform including the iPhone, iPad and desktop machines. Behind the scenes there are servers continually searching for free audiobooks and eBooks to add to the database.
