Harry Potter is one of those things where I don’t care how important it was or is to you sentimentally or whatever. I insist you find another fucking thing. There are so many things. Other things. Better things. Literally anything.

Are you looking for an Audible alternative but not fully convinced yet on moving away? What if we told you all of your purchases support indie bookshops? Or that we are employee-owned and community driven?
Let us know what questions you have about Libro.fm—we'd love to help make the switch easy 💓
