Audiobook, e-book, or both? Now, you won t have to choose. The Scribd-owned reading subscription service Everand wants to make the choice unnecessary. On Tuesday, the company took the wraps off a combined subscription that brings together Everand s catalog of over 1.5 million audiobooks and e-books with the social book club app Fable, which Everand acquired in 2025, into a single plan, directly challenging Amazon s dominance in digital reading.
The new subscription is available to the two apps 5 million combined readers and provides access to the over 1.5 million-title library of audiobooks and e-books, plus Fable s nearly 200,000 online book clubs. As you read or listen in one app, that activity is synced to the other.
The entry-level plan offers one book for $11.99 per month in the U.S., while a $16.99 per month plan offers three books, and a $28.99 per month plan lets you dive into five. Because the subscription covers both e-books and audiobooks, that s a fairly competitive deal compared with Audible Premium Plus ($14.95/month), which offers one credit for an audiobook along with its streaming catalog of originals and podcasts.
