Apps that have both e books and audio books
Overdrive Media console
(free)You can access ebooks and audiobooks from your local library with this app. You borrow the digital content much like you would a physical copy of the book—when the lending period expires, you lose digital access. There are e books and audio versions available. You will most likely need to get on a waiting list for popular books.
audio versions of books (no text/real human voice)
Audiobooks
These are Librivox recordings of public domain books. Many titles are available free, but have a small advert. on the bottom.
