FREE Audiobooks on YouTube (Full Length) and how to find them
Many people these days are looking for free audiobooks on youtube. and rightfully so, because there are a lot of full length audiobooks on youtube available.
but still, many people dont know how to find audiobooks on youtube. So I made this video to clarify once and for all the best way to get audiobooks on youtube (full versions).
Now of course, not every audiobook is available on youtube. but there are a lot of public domain audiobooks that you can listen to. For these, I recommend specifically the following three audiobook channels on youtube:
Greatest audiobooks: / greatestaudiobooks
Audio books: / rt20bg
Librivox: / @librivoxaudiobooks
As I describe in the video, there are also audiobooks on youtube that are not public domain and there are ways how you can find those.
I hope with this video I can encourage you to listen to more free audiobooks, as it is a great way to learn and broaden your horizon.

For 26 years I drove for UPS and must have listened to 100 audiobooks per year. Now I'm retired, wrote my own Novel and turned it into an Audiobook. I posted the full length version for others to listen to for free, and I hope you enjoy my story if you are an audiobook listener. The Fix-it-Shop by Friedrich Wilhelm is the name of my Audiobook. Be alert while driving, I've witnessed too many terrible accidents over my 26 years as a commercial driver.

It is a great thing that you took the time to give the world a book. I would like to post a book for people to read. The video would be just to introduce the book. The book would be posted below the video. I will not know if that is possible until I try it. Has anyone actually tired that?

I have found some in audio books on you tube ..
Hello Wolkify ! I am a french writer who has freely chosen to give away every audible rights of my books when i am still alive and well ! My skills are crime novels and old fashioned humourous radio drama. I have found a wonderfull reader and by that way of doing, I have been able to conquer new listeners and NOT ONLY disable people. I am glad to be a company for a lot of artists - painters - long-distance-drivers, nurses, night-stand jobs... The reading always adds a dimension. Today, when everything is on tape - thanks to AUDACITY, another great-generous project - it is possible to put a lovely music introduction, sounds, thank to the artists who share their composition. Am I stealing myself in sharing my work freely as I do ? NO ! On the contrary ! I feel very... content ! MONEY is NOT everything ! Enjoyed your video very much. Good work !
I love reading but, I am an auditory learner, and rather skilled instrumentalist. In college I used to record my own voice on a recorder reading my study notes, then play it back to myself in the car or before bed to help me memorize things. I have to admit that listening to an audiobook is actually more efficient for me than actually reading it, in terms of retention. Thank you for this.

If you live in the U.S., your local public library may have an audiobook collection, free with your library card. If your local town is small and it does not offer this, check out the next larger county and they might. I have to pay an annual fee to use a public library which is not in the county I live, but in three books, the fee equivalent is paid.

Has just started listening to audio books on KZread about a year ago as new truck didn't come with a cd/mp3 player. Until then had bought them. Has 4 floor to ceiling bookcases filled with books on tape, cd and mp3. As a long distance truck driver books help keep me awake and safer while driving.

So basically you're saying, how to find, hard to find copyrighted audiobooks on youtube is to simply search for the audiobook that you're looking for in the search bar and that's how to find them? Very helpful, thanks 🙄

Those free public domain audiobook channels are going to carry me through AP Lit
Other considerations are audio book summaries, for many books can easily be summarized Most of these are extended articles and blogs "fatten up" to book length via "war stories" Also, searching on the author will find extended talks by the author on a book This provides an insight into if hearing/reading the full-length version of the book would be worth the time
There's no trick to finding audiobooks on KZread, the trick is to find the _good_ ones. I wish someone would compile a list of classic books read by professional actors, preferably British - because they're the best! But I'm afraid my idea of a classic is a little different from the guy in this video. Edit: I ended up compiling the list myself if anyone's interested. kzread.info/head/PLNuUrOtihUzmKUqdOFrmqUOP9nsUBwlb9

Great information! Thank you for sharing. I see a retired UPS driver commented who is like me, driving for a living allows one the luxury to listen during your work day. I've been listening to my favorite podcaster initially but now have moved on to audiobooks. I highly recommend Matthew Perry's memoir if you can get your hands on the recording of him reading it (hint: torrent). It's a really good, sometimes heartbreaking listen.
I've been trying forever to be able to get American gods. Tried downloading the epub and using speech to text but the robotic voices are quite irritating. Never considered simply searching for an audio version on KZread and it worked haha. Thanks
Check out your local public libraries because a lot of them have audiobooks to check out, free with a library card. My library does not have audiobooks because it is a tiny little town, so I drive to the next larger town north, which has a HUGE audiobook collection. Since I am not from that county in the U.S., I do have to pay an annual fee. It runs around $35 a year and up which is still much cheaper than other avenues.

Idk, the first time I read Macbeth I was opened up to a whole new way of reading. I had read poems before but a full story in poetic fashion with a rhyme scale and undeniable rhythm. Reading Shakespeare is like tasting a Michelin star restaurants best dish more than just good an unforgettable experience. i totally understand listening to Jane Eyre's or Herman Melville's work they can be dry until you get to some more juicy or exciting parts of them. I recommend that people read Shakespeare's plays.
It’s quite fun to have someone read to me, a book I have in my hand at the same time! 📚

I listen to audiobooks while driving. As a writer now, I decided to upload several of my books for people to listen, share, or download for free. So far, I have uploaded two and more to come. Leave me a comment. I hope you learn something new you didn't know before.
Making me think that audiobook channels have the potential to enhance the listening experience for their audiences by offering a better descriptions of titles, improving audio quality, and streamlining navigation. Also it would be great to see more collaborations that can benefit all.
The ad for Audible at the start of this video was the cherry on top!
I'm so happy to stumble upon your channel, I love books so.much , I get a headache if I don't read a book in 5 days .
Don't forget there are a lot of current authors that are uploading their own works. Stephen King has many books on YT & when you read them, the monetization is donated to a charity. Excellent video but you didn't mention that you can search by the author's name to find current authors. You can also search by genre/subject such as " mystery books". I love YT books. When my library's audiobook is ck'd out, I often find them on YT with no wait. Happy "reading"
Thanks for helping me find free audiobooks!

I'm amazed that it isn't pointed out that there is a totally FREE source of audiobooks without the hassle of doing anything on the internet. There's a place in your local community (unless you town is small) where you can borrow an audiobook for FREE. Besides paper books, they have at least a shelf or several (especially in larger cities) of audiobooks you can borrow for 3 or 4 weeks. Many of these places now let you borrow audiobooks online also, if you wish to use the internet to borrow them. Have I given enough hints what these places are called?

I hate it when people make reading a book seem like work. It is supposed to feel that way when your in primary school before high school. At first most people hit that wall where they find they read a page and feel like they read nothing. That's normal. What you do is stop, and now read one sentence at the top of the page. Stop. Ask yourself what you just read Go on to the next sentence and repeat that process. If you stick with it you will find you wont have to use this technique for long as your comprehension will simply begin to kick in intuitively. There thats the advice I was given many moons ago in my late teens as I too was struggling. And if you cant do that then go play video games, go hit a bong, go spank it but above all go away. You will probably remain this way all your life. Lol. If you font enjoy reading you will not do it. It's an acquired appreciation. It comes by doing it, which means pushing your way through your first couple of books. But if you get it, you feel the click and you start to glide you will feel so glad for it. What's it like? It's like my senior year in English Literature class . We were given Fahrenheit 451 to read one unit. After I applied the one sentence at a time technique I got so into it , i turned around and read the book a second time just for fun in my free time. To watch libraries finally be removed is going to be depressing. I hope it never happens. They represent a good thing that may be disappointing. 😪👎

That goes for every genre. Based on reviews, a "good" or "really good" narrator is very subjective. I'll see half love a narrator and half hate them. This goes for the free, paid, classic and contemporary audio books I've come across. On Audible and on other sites. I don't think there's any way to avoid bad narrators, or guaranteeing good ones.
uTube always takes off full audiobooks as soon as I find them as fast as I find them. They play games with their viewers and I am so tired of dealing with this
