MP3 or M4B?
MP3 plays everywhere, which makes it the safe choice for the car, a sports watch or an old player. If you listen in Apple Books or an audiobook app, M4B is the better file: chapters, cover and your place, all built in.
Hear it before you make it
Every English book is free to listen to with Standard voices, on every plan. Play a chapter or the whole thing, try a few narrators and choose your chapters, then make the file.
Rather just listen? The book stays in your library and plays on the web, iPhone and iPad, and Mac (Windows coming soon), with read-along text, a sleep timer and your place synced.
