I have searched for the last hour for audiobooks I can download and listen to for free. Even my Kindle Unlimited I already pay for, charges if I want to listen to an audiobook. I tried the library but I don't know what books, I want to find a site that lists "bedtime" reading as I have horrible anxiety and need something comforting to listen to.

Many voices are like finger-nails on a chalkboard, so has anyone found good ole classic audiobooks that are wonderful to listen to, and Android is what I need. I don't know if my old Kindle would support my bluetooth speaker very well, but my phone works great with bluetooth. I also have tinnitus so I have to be able to turn up the sound as needed to drown out ringing in my ears.

Thanks, really hoping for some help here, free apps only please. If I have to pay for every book, may as well pay Kindle Unlimited but I'd really like to ditch that.

Librivox.org has free audiobooks of books which are in the public domain, read by volunteers. They have several recordings of The Secret Garden:

Hi hildea, thank you so much for writing. I saw this somewhere and will look at your link. I'll let you know how I do.

I'm sure you'll believe this, but when I go to install the app, I see I also have to pay Amazon

I guess they have taken over even public domain book

Ok, I made a mistake somehow, but I got the right app downloaded for librivox and tried a book on my Android, works perfect, but I did pay the small amount for the app so no ads

Thanks so much, I think this is exactly what I was looking for
