What is an audiobook?

Audiobooks are voice recordings of a book being read out loud so that you can listen to the story rather than read the text. Audiobooks are popular because of the ability to multitask. Audiobooks can be listened to while driving, commuting on public transportation, exercising, and more.

Is there an app to listen to audiobooks for free?

Barnes & Noble audiobooks can be listened to on the free Barnes & Noble NOOK app available in the Apple App Store and from Google Play. The Barnes & Noble NOOK app can be downloaded to your phone, tablet or NOOK eReader for easy listening.
