Although we have just advised you to read (without spending a euro), with many hours locked up at home, especially if you are alone, you may prefer someone to read the stories while you relax.

The problem is that, being free (unlike books, which are all just as "printed" on the screen) audiobooks have a very uneven quality.

Because with the voices a very subjective factor comes into play, which implies that we feel affinity or not with the narrator.




Also, if the narrator is of a different nationality than yours, the pauses, intonation, emotion may not be as you would when reading and this affects the ability of the voice to catch your attention.

However, it has its magic to hear stories told aloud.

Let's review the main applications for listening to audiobooks on your Apple device, be it iPhone, iPad or Mac (although in the case of the computer the interface will normally be via the internet browser).

They all have a section of books in Spanish

LibriVox

It is the reference in terms of audiobooks narrated by users. A huge catalog with voices, to put it in some way, of "normal people", in the sense that they are not radio voices. These are people who love books and spend their time reading them aloud. Worth a try.
