Read More, Spend Less

Rent from Simply Audiobooks and get access to thousands of dollars worth of audio books on CD––for as little as $11.95 per month. That’s less than the cost of one audio book at most retail chains. Your monthly fee covers an unlimited supply of audio books, with no shipping charges, no late fees and absolutely no hassles.

FREE shipping BOTH WAYS!

When you’re done with the selection, just pop it back in the box and drop it into the mail. Everything you need to return it is included in the original packaging. As soon as we receive your returned CD’s, we’ll ship your next book.

The Most Effective Shipping System

Books are automatically shipped in order of availability and priority. That means every time we receive a selection back from you, we’re able to send out your top next available pick the same day. We also maximize our inventory’s effectiveness by splitting longer books into “selections.” The policy was designed so that we could ship the most books to the most members, while keeping costs affordable for customers.

Your Books, Your Way

Browse or search our inventory to find the books you’d like to hear. Whenever you see a title of interest, click “Add to Shelf” (while logged in). The book will automatically be added to the bottom of your Rental Shelf. At your leisure, edit your list to make sure the books you most want to hear are at the top of your Rental Shelf.

  • Unlimited Rentals!
  • No Late Fees! No Due Dates

Slow, slow, slow shipping and processing. They love to quote 2 -5 business days to receive a shipment. In 18 months all of my CD's have arrived in no less than 7 days. And returning them is worse - a minimum of 9 days. For the prices they charge for 2 books at a time - not a good value. And if something doesn't show up (receiving or returning) they will not ship you a replacement until after the 10th business day.

Simply Audiobooks claims to be the Netflix of the audiobook rental world offering unlimited rentals with four different monthly plans (or annual plans for a $$ savings). The plans are advertised as ONE book at a time, TWO books at a time, THREE books at a time, or FOUR books at a time. After purchasing the two books at a time annual gift certificate as a Christmas present for my husband we soon realized TWO at a time doesn't really mean two. It means my husband is trekking to the library to rent audiobooks again because Simply Audiobooks sends ONE book with shipping time being about one week, then you return the book (another 7 days gone down the tube), your second book arrives, and you NEVER have TWO at a time. In fact, you will go days without ANY books while you wait for their slow processing. Customer service calls garner you promises at first but as soon as you call to cancel the account you find the "friendly" customer service not so friendly. Though their "Sign Up Now" page states you can "cancel at anytime, even on our prepaid plans, and receive a refund for unused months of service", you'll be terribly unhappy & a bit poorer if you choose to purchase a prepaid gift card for a loved one because as it turns out THOSE are not refundable. Too bad that isn't stated on the signup page. This has been a very unsatisfactory experience with a company that has misleading advertising and poor customer service.
