The Chorus Library: 111 classics, free to hear.

Everything here is in the public domain. Each book has been cleaned up for narration, so the headings read properly, the front matter is gone and the chapters are detected, and the app downloads it as one small file. Tap Get in Chorus Reader and it is on your shelf, ready to narrate in whichever voice you pick.

This is the same shelf the app shows. You can’t download the books from here, but you can see what is on it, read how each one starts, and listen to a sample.

111 titles · 85 authors · 1,670 hours of listening · 108 openings you can play
