Store description excerpt
Spare minutes, well-read. Folio turns the world's greatest literature into calm, narrated audio you can finish in a single sitting — about eight minutes a piece. A commute, a coffee, the walk home. That's all it takes to spend time with Austen, Dickens, Dostoevsky, Poe, or Homer. ONE CLASSIC FREE, EVERY DAY Pick any book in the library and listen free. A new pick unlocks every day. No account, no sign-up, no clutter — open the app and press play. WHAT'S INSIDE • 546 classics, from Pride and Prejudice to The Odyssey, Dracula to The Great Gatsby • Read-along text that highlights each line as it is spoken • Two narrators — male or female, switch at any time • Adjustable speed, sleep timer, and full lock-screen controls • Keep listening with the screen off, on a walk or a commute • Quiet, distraction-free design in indigo and gold BROWSE BY GENRE OR AUTHOR Russian masters, Victorian novels, Gothic tales, adventure, myth and more — or go straight to Jane Austen, Charles Dickens, Shakespeare, Mark Twain, Oscar Wilde, or Sherlock Holmes. HONEST ABOUT WHAT THIS IS Naturally short works arrive complete. Longer novels are carefully edited retellings that keep the arc and the finest passages, and every title tells you which it is. The narration is a synthetic voice, chosen for clarity and calm rather than performance. UNLOCK EVERYTHING, ONCE A single purchase opens the entire library — any book, any order, no daily limit, and every title added later. It is not a subscription: nothing renews, and there is nothing to cancel. The classics are waiting. You have eight minutes.
