e-books and e-audio

We offer hundreds of free e-books and e-audio books. You can access these on your computer, smartphone, tablet, e-reader or MP3 player, at any time. They won’t become overdue so you don’t have to worry about charges. There are also no charges on reservations.

You must be a member of Bracknell Forest libraries to use these services. Visit our joining the library page to find out how to become a member.

Our e-books are currently not compatible with Amazon Kindle e-readers but can be accessed on the Kindle Fire tablet.

Benefits of e-books and e-audio

On e-books you can alter the size of print or colour scheme on your e-book. For example, white on black is useful for reading at night time or outside in direct light.

For e-audio books you can also speed up or slow down the speed of the books. You can also use the sleep function to set a time when it automatically switches off. This is great for listening in bed.

Find an e-book or e-audio book

You can search for e-books and audio books in our library catalogue by selecting 'eBook' or 'Audiobook' as the format in the advanced search option. Other e-books and e-audio titles are available.
