Some of our books and audiobooks are available exclusively through our Galatea Unlimited subscription or require a subscription after a certain point. We've got a couple of reasons for this decision:
-
Authors' Well-Deserved Support: We're committed to ensuring that authors receive fair compensation for their hard work, and this new approach is a step in that direction. Our incredible authors pour their hearts into crafting the stories you love. In addition to books, making audiobooks part of our subscription helps us ensure they receive fair compensation for their dedication.
- Added Value for Subscribers: Subscribing to Galatea should be worth it. It means you get access to content that others won't, similar to other subscription services.
-
Covering Extra Costs: Crafting an audiobook involves various expenses, from hiring talented voice actors to translating stories into different languages. By offering audiobooks through Galatea Unlimited, we can keep delivering this special content to you.
We understand that changes like these may not always align with what you were expecting, and we're sensitive to your concerns about subscription costs.
But here's the good news: we're constantly exploring ways to make our subscription options more accessible and budget-friendly in the future.
If you're not in a position to subscribe right now but are keen to, keep an eye out for occasional sales announced in our Facebook group or sent through email.
These changes and tests are all part of our journey to enhance the app and provide you with the best possible reading experience. We want to express our deep appreciation for your support. You are the heart and soul of Galatea, and we're always working to find new ways to bring more value to your reading adventure! 📖🌟
