Storytel audiobook and e-book subscription

Storytel is a leading global subscription service for audiobooks and e-books. The company was founded in Sweden in 2005 under the name Bokilur by Jonas Tellander and Jon Hauksson. It rebranded to Storytel in 2007 and has since expanded its footprint across Northern Europe and international markets, becoming a dominant player in the digital literature space.

The platform operates through a digital distribution model, delivering content via its proprietary app and web interface. While it does not have a physical 'manufacturing' location, its research, development, and primary operations are centered in Stockholm, Sweden. The brand is known for its extensive library of local and international titles, often acquiring local publishers to bolster its regional offerings.

Storytel AB is a publicly traded company on the Nasdaq First North Premier Growth Market. It maintains its independence as an ultimate owner entity, managing various subsidiaries including popular publishing houses like Norstedts Förlagsgrupp. As of 2024 and looking toward 2026, Storytel remains headquartered in Sweden, continuing to innovate in the streaming of spoken word and written digital content.
