KU and Audible are more likely to have traditionally published books that can be easily found. Although sometimes Scribd won’t have that book available to read but will still show up when searched for. I have noticed that with traditionally published books they are easier to find on both. Especially when lots of people in the book community are talking about one book or series and you can’t get your hands on it. Just because an audiobook is available in one country it doesn’t mean it’s available in yours. Sometimes a book is simply not available because of what country or region you’re in on either Scribd or KU.Īnd the same can be said for audio on Scribd or Audible. This can happen with any other book or author, I’ve just noticed that it happens a little more often with some Indie authors/books. Which I do think works in Amazon’s favour as can buy the book they’re looking for if they can’t borrow it. Which can be a bit disappointing at times, but when I check on KU they also don’t always have it.

I have found it a bit of a struggle on Scribd to find some Indie author’s books. And both Scribd and Audible have large libraries of audio. You can find practically whatever you want on either. Roundsīoth Scribd and KU offer a wide range of ebooks for their customers.

Meaning that with Scribd you only have to have one subscription to get all that they offer, whereas with Kindle Unlimited and Audible you have to subscribe to get ebooks, magazines, audiobooks, and podcasts.

Unlike Amazon’s services where you have two separate places to get ebooks and magazines with Kindle Unlimted and audiobooks, podcasts, and original theatrical audios with Audible. Audible/Audible Plus = A collection of audiobooks, podcasts, and original theatrical audios.Īs you can see right off the bat with Scribd you can get ebooks, audiobooks, podcasts, magazines, news articles, sheet music, documents and snapshots in one place.Amazon Kindle Unlimited (KU) = A range of ebooks and magazines that can be borrowed for however long you want.Scribd = A vast digital library filled with ebooks, audiobooks, podcasts, magazines & news articles, sheet music, documents, and snapshots (short stories and articles).I know that in the UK many libraries are now on accessible by app where you can borrow eBooks and eAudiobooks for free. If you feel that you can’t afford to pay for these services, or don’t think that they are worth the money, I would strong suggest checking you library. These are all services which you have to pay for. There are a few different ways to access eBooks and eAudiobooks, but I thought that I would discuss some of the more well-known and talked about options. Hello everyone! And welcome to a discussion post I’ve been wanting to write for a while but was a bit nervous to share.
