To our community,
Today, I’m excited to share an announcement that has been a long time in the making: ebooks are coming to Libro!
In just a few months, you’ll be able to enjoy ebooks alongside your audiobooks in our app—all in support of your chosen independent bookshop. And when we say “alongside,” we really mean it:
- LibroSync: When you have both the audiobook and ebook on Libro, you’ll be able to toggle between the two, or follow the text while you listen. (Our own team is most excited for this feature!)
- Flexible credits: Credits can be used to purchase audiobooks or ebooks. (Ebooks can also be purchased à la carte).
A Libro membership continues to be the best way to support your indie, and now members will have more options for their monthly or annual credits. And just like members currently get access to exclusive audiobook sales and promotions, you can bet we’re excited to do the same with ebooks!
Our decision to expand into ebooks is one that has come from years of bookseller feedback. And because of their input, we have no doubt you’ll love the new addition.
Since 2014, we’ve worked to create a best-in-class audiobook experience for our customers and bookselling partners—and that’s not changing. Whether you’re here for audiobooks, ebooks, both, or anything else (👀), Libro is for you.
We have an exciting roadmap ahead and can’t wait to share more updates on our official launch as we approach 2027! Want to help? Share the news with a friend who’d rather buy their books from their local bookshop.
Happy listening—and, soon, ereading,
Mark
