PRODUCT DISCLOSURE $

Having a free audiobook in the car for when you run errands, on your phone when you're traveling, or on your computer to enjoy while you work, can keep you sane and add some fun and interest to your day.

These websites offer completely free audiobooks for you to download and listen to whenever you want. You won't find any samples here—at these websites, you'll be able to download complete audio books.

The free audio book downloads below are all legal. They are either public domain or the websites have permission from the author to offer the audio book for free.

Most of the time you'll be downloading these books as MP3 files (or sometimes WMA or AAC files) that can play on your computer, tablet, phone, iPod, or MP3 player. There are free audio converter tools you can use if you need the audiobook to be in a different file format.

Looking for more free books in other formats? Download free books for your Kindle, free children's Kindle books, free romance eBooks, or free Nook books. Also read our guide to finding free eBooks.

There are lots of websites aside from the ones below that offer free audio books that you can download through torrent websites. However, you should know that while that method of sharing audio eBooks and other digital files (e.g., movies, software, music) may seem completely fine, it's normally illegal in most countries and is typically considered an unsafe method for sharing files since it's a common way to transmit malware.

Motivational Audio Books Free Download Mp3 In English

Scribl

What We Like

  • Provides audiobooks that normally cost

  • Lets you filter the audiobooks results by language

  • Lots of filtering options for styles, character info, etc.

What We Don't Like

  • Most audiobooks are not free

  • It's hard to find just the free audiobooks

  • Must sign in to download books

Audio Books Free Download Mp3 In Marathi

Scribl is a very different audio book website because while there are some free audio books, most of them come at a cost. It's really a hit or miss type of situation when you look for free audio eBooks here.

However, we've included it here because you might find unique books that aren't free anywhere else. Just make sure to grab them quickly because as books get more popular, Scribl puts a price on them.

Because Scribl has other things, too, like eBooks and podcasts, you want to make sure to filter the results to only show audio books.

There used to be a free audio book website at Podiobooks.com but it's now a part of Scribl.

Spotify

What We Like

  • Lets you stream audiobooks absolutely free

  • Works on computers and mobile devices

  • Also includes tons of free music

What We Don't Like

  • It isn't easy to find audiobooks among all the music

  • Only paying customers can download the free audiobooks

  • You have to have a user account to even search for audiobooks

Free audio books at Spotify? Yes! With a catch: it's only free to download the books if you're a paying user. Spotify memberships allow for downloading content while free users can only stream the books.

The free audio books at Spotify are not organized very well because Spotify is a music streaming service, not an audio book website—but there is a good handful of them available.

If the link below doesn't have the audiobook you want, try doing a general search for audiobooks on Spotify. Use these Spotify search tips if you need help.

YouTube

What We Like

  • Any audiobook you find is free to stream

  • No user account is needed to view or download audiobooks

  • Also has lots of free music and videos

What We Don't Like

Malayalam Audio Books Free Download Mp3

  • Doesn't provide a built-in way for finding audiobooks

  • Most audiobooks don't have a download link

Similar to Spotify, YouTube is not primarily a good source for audiobooks because most of the content is music and videos. However, you might have luck finding some really great free audio books on YouTube if you know how to search for them.

If you can't find an audio book on YouTube by searching for its name followed by 'audiobook' (e.g., the six pillars of self esteem audiobook), you can try Reddit. The /r/audiobooksonyoutube sub is built specifically for sharing which videos on YouTube are actually audiobooks.

Motivational Audio Books Free Download Mp3 In Hindi

Once you find an audiobook you like, and so long as you know it's public domain or is legal to download, you can download just the audio from the video with a YouTube to MP3 converter.
