According to Scribd, “Occasionally, some titles in our library may be temporarily unavailable to you depending on your recent reading activity.”

I recommend leveraging the Scribd free trial to see if the service is right for you.Ĭlick here to try Scribd free for 60 days.

Overall, I think Scribd is the best-value audiobook subscription service currently available as the price seems very fair for everything you get. Basically, Scribd is for books what Spotify is for music and Netflix is for movies. Scribd offers (mostly) unlimited access to millions of audiobooks, ebooks, magazines, comics, and sheet music selections for a flat monthly fee.
