Audible Audiobook & Podcast Service

Audible is the world’s leading producer and provider of original spoken-word entertainment and audiobooks. Founded in 1995 by Don Katz, the brand revolutionized the way people consume literature by introducing one of the world's first portable digital audio players dedicated to audiobooks. It was originally an independent company that partnered with tech giants like Apple to distribute content via the iTunes Store.

In 2008, the brand reached a major turning point when it was acquired by Amazon. Since then, Audible has expanded its reach globally, producing vast amounts of exclusive content and operating various regional marketplaces. As a digital service, it does not have a physical manufacturing location, but its content is produced in various recording studios worldwide, with headquarters remaining in Newark, New Jersey, under the Amazon corporate umbrella.
