Even my friends who aren't readers have become readers thanks to audiobooks. As someone who loves reading, I never thought audiobooks could replace text on a page for me, but I've been using Audible for a couple of years now and it's been incredible! What I love most is how you can have the book playing in the background while you focus on other tasks, like say cleaning your home or commuting to work. You can even adjust the reading speed to be faster or slower. What's more, I finish audiobooks faster than physical or e-books.
Currently, you get a month's free trial and the first audiobook is free. Audible is ₹199 per month after 30 days. Learn more here.
