The Bad

Can be expensive
Not easy to find the audiobooks section

Some of their audio books can be pretty expensive to simply be listening to them. You should go check the price at a used book store prior to purchasing an audiobook on iTunes. The audiobooks section on iTunes is not inherently easy to find. We had to do a Google search to get to their page. Once you find the page, it's rather bland and only lets you search audiobooks by genre. Other sites allow members to browse by author, title, and other filters. iTunes makes you search by genre, then author, and only then shows you titles. Once you purchase a title, it can only be read with iBooks, an app exclusively for Mac or iOS.

The Bottom Line

iTunes offers over 30,000 audiobooks. This makes it possible that almost everyone can find something that they are interested in. iTunes does offer some audio books free of cost so maybe a little free trial will help you decide if iTunes works for you. Comparatively, iTunes' audiobooks are more expensive than subscription-based services, so they may be better for the one- or two-time listener. If you're looking for to listen to one or more audiobook each month, you may want to find another provider.

I love to use iTunes for audiobooks when I have to make long drives. They have so many book options and are for a very cheap price. I also love how the people reading the book make it so interesting. One of my favorite audiobooks I have gotten from iTunes has been a Karen Kingsbury mystery book. Their audiobooks help keep me awake and entertained for long drives or plane rides. I would also recommend using iTunes gift cards for the avid readers in the house because it can be like a virtual library.

I wouldn't call myself an Apple disciple.....but the koolaid looks good. I own several devices and use iTunes regularly and love it. I pay for Apple Music plus own hundreds of songs from before it's launch. Great selection and audio quality.

iTunes is by far the best provider of audiobooks because of the large selection and their ability to make using the books very convenient. iTunes is built into iphones so for those who have apple phones. it only takes a few buttons to use an audiobook.
