June is Audiobook Appreciation Month
June is Audiobook Appreciation Month. Libraries, narrators, authors, publishers and readers celebrate the pleasures and perks of audiobooks all month long.
Several of my books are available in audio format. If you are new to audiobooks, here are three ways to start listening.
- Contact your local library for audiobook lending options. Audiobooks in all genres are available to borrow.
- Audible is one of the most popular audiobook distributors. Audible Escape is a subscription-based option that offers unlimited listening for a monthly fee. Whispersync is a feature that allows readers to switch from reading a book to listening. Once you’ve purchased the ebook, look for an option to add the audiobook for just a few more dollars.
- Download an audiobook app onto your tablet or phone. Portable devices make it easy and convenient to enjoy audiobooks. Just download the app for whichever service you use. Keep in mind there are several, including Audible and iTunes. Chirp and Authors Direct are two price-friendly apps to check out.
