How is your membership different from Audible?
While Audible is a well-known audiobook platform, Legible offers a unique blend of features and values that set us apart: • Fair Compensation: We prioritize fair compensation for authors and creators, ensuring they receive a larger share of the revenue. • Membership: Legible offers an affordable membership program that gives you unlimited access to our entire library of ebooks and audiobooks instead of a restricting, token-based system. • Read Your Way: Whether you enjoy reading with your eyes (ebooks) or your ears (audiobooks) we have you covered! Legible offers both in the same app whereas Audible only offers audiobooks. • Listen and read: With Legible you get access to not only a premium catalogue of audiobooks but also a full catalog of ebooks. You can switch between reading and listening across all of your devices, at any time. • Original Content: We publish original digital-first products, AI-enhanced books, and "living books" that incorporate multimedia elements, offering a truly immersive reading experience. • Independence: We are an independent platform, focused on building a close-knit community of readers and authors, rather than being part of a massive corporate conglomerate. • Promotional Codes: We provide promotional codes to offer discounts to our customers, making quality content even more accessible.
