What OpenBookAudio is
OpenBookAudio is a streaming subscription for audiobooks of public-domain literature. Every narration is an original, AI-generated production made by us — see our public domain policy for how the catalog works.
Your account
You sign up and sign in through Clerk, our authentication provider. We never see or store your password. Keep your account to yourself — one subscription is for one person's use.
Plans, billing, and your free trial
- The subscription costs $9 per month or $78.96 per year.
- New subscribers get a 14-day free trial. You won't be charged until the trial ends, and you can cancel before then at no cost.
- Payments are processed by Stripe. Your card number never touches our servers.
- You can cancel anytime from your account page. When you cancel, you keep access until the end of the period you already paid for; we don't claw it back.
What you can do with the audio
Your subscription is for personal, non-commercial streaming. The underlying books are in the public domain — the texts belong to everyone — but our recordings are our own productions. Please don't rip, redistribute, resell, or rebroadcast them.
AI narration disclosure
All narration on OpenBookAudio is generated by our own AI voice system. You are not listening to human narrators, and our named voices are not impersonations of real people.
No warranty
We work hard to keep the service up and the audio good, but OpenBookAudio is provided as-is, without warranties of any kind. We can't promise uninterrupted service, and we're not liable for damages beyond what you've paid us in the past twelve months.
Changes to these terms
If we change these terms in a way that matters, we'll update the effective date above and note the change plainly. Continuing to use the service after a change means you accept it.
Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Kentucky, USA.
