Audiobook platform Libro.fm has announced its international launch, opening its online store and streaming audio service in Canada and the UK. The move is designed to expand their reach, capitalizing on the growing trend of digital audio consumption.
Libro.fm is the latest entrant in the digital audiobook market, joining established platforms such as Amazon’s Audible and Google’s Play Store. Libro.fm allows users to purchase and stream audiobooks in a variety of formats. The company’s tagline for its new venture is “Audiobooks without Borders,” emphasizing its global ambitions.
The company’s founder, Gregg Heacock, said that the move was driven by the company’s mission to enable “lasting connections between readers and writers” worldwide. Heacock mentioned how the new international launch will benefit Libro.fm’s US customers by giving them access to more titles that are not available in the US. It will also benefit authors and publishers both within and outside of the US.
Libro.fm’s international launch includes a comprehensive library of audiobooks from all genres. The company’s catalog includes best-sellers, classics, titles from independent publishers, and more. The platform also features exclusive deals and discounts, personalized recommendations, and reviews from other users.
The expansion of Libro.fm to Canada and the UK is part of the company’s bigger mission to give people easier access to audiobooks, regardless of where they live. With the international launch, Libro.fm is well-positioned to become a major player in the digital audiobooks industry and take advantage of the ever-increasing demand for audio content.
