A new free audiobook every week

A free audiobook can be the perfect excuse to get lost in some of the world’s best knowledge, stories and ideas without spending a cent.

ElevenReader gives you a new featured audiobook every week, with stories across a wide range of genres. One week, you might find yourself drawn into something completely unexpected; the next, you could discover a genre you never knew you’d love.

Travel to a different world

The free title might be a fantasy audiobook filled with magic, adventure, and characters you want to follow for hours. Or, you could find yourself immersed in a science fiction audiobook that takes you somewhere strange, futuristic, or perhaps a little too believable.

Follow the clues

A good mystery audiobook gives you plenty of reasons to keep listening for one more chapter. A suspicious character, unexpected twist, or buried secret can quickly turn a free pick into a story you cannot put down.

Fall in love with new characters

Fiction audiobooks let you step into somebody else’s life for a few hours and meet characters you may end up caring about far more than expected. You might discover a friendship that stays with you long after the final chapter or find your next favorite love story in the romance audiobooks collection.

Pick up a new skill

Audiobooks can also turn listening time into an opportunity to learn something new. A great nonfiction audiobook could help you explore a new subject, build a practical skill, or absorb ideas from some of the world’s leading thinkers.

Where to find free audiobooks

ElevenReader gives you two ways to find your next audiobook for free. You can claim a new featured title each week or explore thousands of audiobooks included with the free plan, so there is always something new waiting in your library.

Claim the weekly featured audiobook

A new featured audiobook is available to claim for free every week. Once you claim it, it is added to your ElevenReader library and stays there even after a new featured title takes its place.

Browse thousands of free audiobooks

You do not have to wait for the next weekly pick to find something worth listening to. The free plan includes thousands of audiobooks across different genres and subjects, giving you plenty to explore whenever you are ready for your next listen.
