Pride and Prejudice

Chapter 1 · Jane Austen

It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife. However little known the feelings or views of such a man may be on his first entering a neighbourhood, this truth is so well fixed in the minds of the surrounding families, that he is considered the rightful property of some one or other of their daughters.

“My dear Mr. Bennet,” said his lady to him one day, “have you heard that Netherfield Park is let at last?”

The Narrately listening screen: the sentence being read aloud is highlighted, and focus mode fades the rest of the page.

Questions

How do I turn an EPUB into an audiobook?

Create a free account, upload the EPUB file and press play. Narrately splits the book into chapters and starts narrating in a few seconds, preparing the next passages while you listen. There's nothing to convert or wait for.

Can I use Kindle or DRM-protected books?

No. Narrately can only read files you can open yourself, without copy protection. Books you've written, DRM-free ebooks and public-domain classics (for example from Project Gutenberg or Standard Ebooks) all work.

Where can I find free EPUBs?

Project Gutenberg and Standard Ebooks have tens of thousands of public-domain classics as free, DRM-free EPUBs that work in Narrately.

Is Narrately free?

Yes, joining is free and includes 3 hours of new narration every month. New readers also get Pro free for their first month, with 30 hours of narration. Listening again to something already narrated doesn't use any of your allowance.
