Description
LibriVox Audio Books provides free access to over 15,000 audio books and thousands of radio dramas. Each audiobook can be streamed over the internet or downloaded for later use. All LibriVox audio books can be freely listened to and shared. The LibriVox Audio Books app features classic best sellers and out of print treasures from every genre of literature in more than 30 languages.
Audio books from LibriVox are free thanks to the dedicated work of hundreds of volunteers who record, edit and distribute the books. New releases are prepared daily, and the entire catalog spans the breadth of world literature, including novels, history, biography, short stories, poetry and more in both fiction and non-fiction.
The LibriVox AudioBook app makes it easy to search the LibriVox catalog of free audio books. You can browse by title, author or genre, look at new recordings, or search by key word. Because the books are free, you can listen to as much or as little of a book as you like with no cost. The app remembers your position, so you can return to a book later, and includes a sleep timer for your convenience.

Customer Reviews
No longer operates...
I give this app 5 stars for what it used to be. It used to work excellent. Then it started to do glitchy things like making me download each chapter individually. This was fine however, but the latest update has this app completely useless. I can open librivox, but the minute I click on a book, it crashes. I've tried to redownload, but to no advantage. Please fix thx
Great find!
Thousands of books to choose from. I especially like when they have one reader. I have been able to enjoy many of the classics that I otherwise wouldn't have taken the time with. Great to listen to during a long drive or a workout.
It's a useful tool but has format issues
I use this a lot and enjoy the selection and reading pace. However it is really not well formatted. The bookmark button is not obvious at all, and the resume button seemed to disappear to a void you click on.
Sometimes also the narrators sound terrible with lots of vocal fry or high pitch voices.
