Storytel is a wonderful subscription platform that offers e-books and audiobooks in various markets all over the world. You can get access to these thousands of titles from the mobile app since Storytel is only available on Android and iOS devices. However, what if I want to play Storytel audiobooks and read e-books on my PC or Mac? In this article, we will explore how to do that and share with you the best solution!
Where can I play Storytel audiobooks and read ebooks?
When you get audiobooks and ebooks from Storytel, you can read and listen to the books on any device that can download the Storytel app.
(1) Read and listen to Storytel books on Storytel eReader
If you bought a Storytel e-reader, you can read and listen to Storytel books on the Storytel e-reader. However, it is important to note that the Storytel e-reader won't work without a Storytel subscription, so you need to create a Storytel account and activate your subscription first. Then you can sign into your Storytel account on the e-reader and enjoy your favorite e-books and audiobooks. Unlike other e-readers, you can also play audiobooks on the Storytel e-reader, as Storytel is primarily a service for audiobooks with audiobook titles in many languages as well as covering all genres.
(2) Read and listen to Storytel books in Storytel mobile app
With a Storytel subscription, the most convenient method to stream Storytel ebooks and audiobooks is by installing the Storytel app on an Android or iOS device. If a title is available in both e-book and audiobook formats, you can seamlessly switch between reading and listening within the Storytel app. While the app also enables you to download books for offline reading and listening, it's important to note that you must download the titles in advance and access them exclusively within the app.
(3) Play Storytel audiobooks on Apple watch and Wear OS watch
Storytel app is also available on Apple watch and Wear OS watch. You can directly download Storytel app from App Store or Google Play Store on your smartwatch. Next, just log into your Storytel account to enjoy listening to your favorite audiobooks. In addition, you’re allowed to save the books in offline mode, so you can listen to them without Internet.

Listening to audiobooks while driving is great entertainment for long road trips. Luckily, with the help of Apple CarPlay and Android Play, you’re able to play your favorite Storytel audiobooks in car.
(5) Read and listen to Storytel books via browsing Storytel website on PC/Mac
While you’re able to visit the Storytel website with a browser on your PC or Mac and search for all the titles, it’s impossible to read ebooks online, and you’re only allowed to listen to samples of audiobooks. All listening or reading is done through the Storytel app, not the website. Since Storytel is only available for iOS or Android mobile apps, it’s very difficult to play Storytel audiobooks and read e-books on PC or Mac. The best way is to download the Storytel books to your PC or Mac as local MP3 and EPUB files.
How do I download Storytel books on PC/Mac?
Although you can stream Storytel books within Storytel app, if you can download Storytel books to your PC or Mac as local files, it will be more easy to play and read them anytime on any device. That's also helpful to save your mobile data for offline listening and reading on your commutes.
