Been listening to audiobooks for years, love them. Mostly a sci-fi, action and adventure fan though I do enjoy history and the occasional autobiography if it's of a person I like (and bonus points if they read it). Are there comedy books? I don't even know how it would even sound but is there such a thing? And, if so, do you have some recommendations? I'm assuming it's not just a stand-up comedy session but a story with more than just funny characters? Of course there's comedic elements of many of the books I've read but just something that's crack up hilarious would be nice.


Threads and top level comments here should be related to audiobooks. This can include stories recordings of books or other less traditional style audiobooks such as those told via podcast, radio dramas or other audio media.

We often offer free audiobooks to those who placed a preorder promotion. We send a promo code for a free audiobook during or soon after the preorder launch, in which customers can download an audiobook for free! We will also communicate a time frame in which they need to be downloaded by before the promo code expires.



If you forgot to use the promo code and it has since expired in the past six months, please let us know. While we are no longer able to offer that promo code or a free audiobook, we may have other audiobook discounts available for you.


While I understand some readers preference for print, I think there are just as many, or almost as many, who prefer audiobooks. I like them because I can be productive with everyday tasks while enjoying a good book. And The Levee is a great, well-read, audiobook. The length is perfect.

Audiobooks first emerged in 1932 with the establishment of a recording studio by The American Foundation for the Blind, which created recordings of books on vinyl records. Each side held about 15 minutes of speech. The following year, Congress passed an amendment that allowed the Library of Congress to begin producing audiobooks.


As audiobooks have become more popular, there have been countless debates over the best applications and ways to digest the medium. Audible is among the most used paid subscription platforms, with apps that can be downloaded on smartphones, iPads, desktops and Kindle, but there are also plenty of free applications through local library systems, such as Hoopla and Overdrive.


Platt said the biggest change for the audiobooks was the move from cassette tapes to CD players in cars. He recalled an entire suitcase of cassette tapes when someone once checked out an audio version of the Bible.


The amount of available audiobooks has also increased. In 2016, 51,000 audiobooks were published, up from 7,200 in 2011. Making an audiobook has become a much faster and more widely practiced option for publishers, Platt said.


The biggest question about audiobooks is: Does listening to a book count as much as reading it? Some traditional readers may scoff at listening to a great classic, having tried audio and hated it. Meanwhile avid audiobook listeners say they read and comprehend more with audio, and that it allows them to read more books.


Mobile devices also allow readers to constantly listen, optimizing their time and reading more, and some argue that audiobooks are yet another way to always stay online, drive productivity, and constantly be in the know.


Libby by OverDrive - Libby by OverDrive Download Services delivers best-selling digital audiobooks and eBooks for checkout, download, and transfer to supported mobile devices. With the Libby app, you can download best-selling eBooks and audiobooks to supported mobile devices.


I have recently been recreating my itunes library from scratch (old pc didn't get backed up properly so starting from scratch). After over a month of importing and organizing audiobooks (not from itunes store nor audible but actual mp3s on my harddrive) I noticed this morning that an entire author has disappeared. There were many audiobooks under his name. I did a search using his name and nothing comes up. I don't know how many other audiobooks have also disappeared as there are a couple of hundred.
