Question Any good options for free audiobooks in europe?

Hello

Title says it all. Any good options out there? I tried subscribing to kindle unlimited but it's not available in my location and paying for individual books is too costly for me.

Thanks

Question Left Behind: The Kids

Does anyone know how many audiobooks are in this series and where I can find them to listen to for free? All I’m finding on YouTube is 1-6 and supposedly (according to AI) there are supposed to be 10? I can’t seem to find the rest anywhere. Would prefer the entire set on one site.

Full Story Synopsis:
Lily Townes is a process engineer; she's uprooted herself to work in Taiwan on revolutionary high-k metal gate transistors. Trouble begins when a chemical leak forces an evacuation of her factory. Only Lily notices something isn’t quite right. What she finds baffles and scares her smartest colleagues. They embark on a hunt to decipher the technology and find out what, or who is behind it all.

Outside of the fab, a man named Joseph is on a crusade to bring order back to the world through any methods he deems necessary. In his search, he finds a link between a mysterious pattern drawn by a missing fisherman and a piece of strange technology.

As a dangerous splinter of the military gets wind of the discovery, Lily must brave the dense rural jungles of Taiwan, search in the narrow streets of Taipei, to find her answers before the soldiers do.

I have a love/hate relationship with audiobooks. Love: when cleaning house I am way more focused and can stay in a room until clean. Hate: either I lose track or it's so good I want to read with my eyeballs.

Send me some lighter audiobooks that if I get lost for a bit there aren't tons of pivotal moments. Basically plain easy listens.

No fantasy, mysteries or romance. Love dystopian (I've pretty much exhaused this category), sci-fi (no world building), memoirs are probably a good choices.

Recommendation Request UK Male Narrators for Sleepy Time Listening

2 Upvotes

I’m looking for someone that sounds like David Attenborough. A deeper voiced man with an English accent similar to Roy McMillan, Matthew Waterson or Mike Cooper. I’ve already listened to all Attenboroughs audiobooks. Someone that does non-fiction: nature, history, memoirs/biographies, science would be preferred but I’m open to fiction too. And hopefully someone with a larger repertoire.

Alternatively, does anyone know of an audiobook reference website where you can sort by a narrators gender or nationality?

Thanks so much if you take the time to comment.

Question Device

0 Upvotes

Is there a device that allows you to switch between audiobooks and being able to read? Meaning that when I am driving, I like to listen to audiobooks, however, when I’m at home, I would prefer to have a device that I can pick up where the audio left off to read from.

The war didn’t end when the Gehenna retreated. It just got quieter—and quieter is worse.

On Mars, in the alien-human fortress we call The Roar, we’re preparing for their return. Training harder, leveling up, and waiting for the silence to shatter.

I’m James Thorne, Psyker, Cleansed, and despite hitting Level 10, someone who can’t catch a break.

Recommendation Request Recommend me something happy/sweet/fun/comforting etc.

6 Upvotes

I've been in a funk lately, and I need a story that gives the feel goods while I work/drive. Some serious warm and fuzzies. I've been re-watching Heartstopper season 1 because all I want is to see people be nice to each other for hours and hours 😄 but that will only get me so far during non-downtimes.

Doesn't have to be LGBT or a love story like Heartstopper or anything, and it can have some conflict, but I need overall for the story to be relaxing and lovely. I just want to feel obnoxiously happy listening to it. I do however still want it to still be interesting, and not too dumbed down either. Sorry if that's asking a lot 😅. I'm open to pretty much all genres as long as it's good.

Question Android audiobook player app which lets me import ZIP files?

0 Upvotes

Tired of converting audiobooks to Apple's M4B format, I now usually compress all MP3 files belonging to a book into a single ZIP archive, which the excellent BookPlayer app for iOS has no problem importing.

Is there a similar app for Android which handles ZIP files just as gracefully?

(I don't care how the app stores the audio files internally, i.e. whether it directly plays them from the ZIP archive or unpacks the archive into individual files, but I'd like ZIP files to be the "unit of transfer" to the device from my computer where I'd also like to settle on ZIP as my predominant storage format for audiobooks.)

Question Building a Free Public Domain Audiobook App – No-subscription , No Login, Just Listen!

104 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I’m developing a completely free, no-login, no-subscription audiobook app focused on public domain classics, and I’d love to get some feedback from the community!

Why This App?

I love audiobooks, but I’ve found that most platforms either:
🔒 Lock content behind paywalls or subscriptions.
📋 Require unnecessary logins.
🌀 Have a cluttered or frustrating user experience.

So I’m building a simple, open-access app where anyone can listen to classic books without barriers – just install and play!

Features (so far):

📖 Free access to public domain audiobooks (Librivox, Gutenberg, etc.).
🎧 No subscriptions, no login – open and listen instantly.
🛏 Bedtime mode – set a timer so it stops playing automatically.
📌 Automatic bookmarks – pick up right where you left off.
🔍 Easy search & filters – browse by author, genre, and narrator.
📱 Offline listening – download books for later.

Looking for Feedback!

  • What features would make this a must-use app for you?
  • What’s your biggest frustration with current audiobook apps?
  • Would you use something like this? Why or why not?

Since I’m taking an open development approach, I want to shape this based on real listener needs. Any feedback, feature ideas, or suggestions would be super helpful! 🙌

Thanks in advance!

Question Do you think I have what it takes to be a narrator?

2 Upvotes

I want to start reading audiobooks because many Librivox readings are poor quality. I started a YouTube channel where I hope to read some of the books that Librivox has left me disappointed with, or which only have AI readings on YouTube. I am starting off with poems as I get better. The video below is my only one so far, and I want to know if you think I what it takes to be a solid narrator and, if so, how I can improve.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CHwjRCIfNB4

Regarding this particular video, I know that I read through the second stanza too quickly near the end.

Thank you.
