About simply audiobooks.com

Simply Audiobooks Inc. was the first company to offer online CD audio book rentals to both the United States and Canada. Officially launched in 2003, we provide book lovers with a simple and affordable way to enjoy the books they want to read, regardless of their busy lifestyles.

Our unlimited rental model is part of a revolution in audio book access. A variety of media formats, from traditional CD technology to MP3 improvements to direct download, are making it easier for people to bring reading back into their lives.

The Simply Audiobooks rental system allows members to choose from thousands of audio books in nearly 30 categories and 6,572 unique titles.

For as low as $19.95 per month, members can rent two to four titles at any given time, depending on their membership plan. Once finished with a title, members simply mail the audio book back to us in our postage-paid mailer, and the next available title on their request list--or "Bookshelf"--is delivered to their door in two to five business days.

There are no commitments, no postage, handling or late fees and members can keep their audio books for as long as they like. It's that simple.

Simply Audiobooks offers a free trial to anyone interested in the service at www.simplyaudiobooks.com

 

How it Started

Simply Audiobooks originated on a busy Toronto highway when CEO Sean Neville found himself stuck in rush hour traffic, frustrated that he could not make better use of his time. Audio books were a great solution, but his local library’s selection was limited and buying audio books was too expensive to be practical.

Convinced that there had to be a convenient and affordable way to feed his habit, Neville shared his idea with his soon-to-be-co-founders. Together they launched Simply Audiobooks in 2003. In just over one year the team grew the company to make it the largest online CD audio book rental service in the United States and Canada.

Offering the ultimate selection in audio books, unparalleled value and customer satisfaction, Simply Audiobooks continues to lead the market segment in product, price and service. With distribution centers in the United States and Canada, we want our members to know they can count on us to keep delivering the audio books they love right to their door.
