Nextory

A streaming service for book lovers and listeners.

Nextory is a Swedish streaming service that gives you access to a huge library of both e-books and audiobooks. The service has gained traction in Denmark as a popular alternative to Mofibo, BookBeat and Saxo Premium—and for good reason. Nextory appeals both to those who love reading on a tablet and to those who prefer listening in the car, on a run, or before bedtime.

Whether you’re into gripping crime novels, romantic stories, biographies, children’s books or popular science, Nextory has something to offer. With more than 400,000 titles and ongoing updates of both new and classic works, it’s one of the most versatile services on the market. Everything comes together in a sleek, intuitive app designed to make reading and listening as easy and enjoyable as possible—for both adults and children.

A big plus with Nextory is that it doesn’t just target individual users. Its family-friendly plans let up to four people use the same account at no extra cost. That makes it ideal for families where parents and kids want to read or listen to different things.

Nextory also stands out with extras like reading statistics, personalized recommendations, and access to magazines—features you rarely see bundled in a single app. The combination of functionality, content, and flexibility makes it especially attractive at a time when many want to get more value from their subscriptions.

With a user-friendly app and a broad collection of books—from novels and crime to children’s titles and nonfiction—Nextory is built for the whole family. But how does it perform in practice when it comes to user experience, price, and content quality? We tested Nextory on both iOS and Android to give you the full picture.

Selection and content

Nextory offers more than 400,000 titles across genres and formats. The selection spans both Danish and international titles, with frequent updates. You’ll find everything from thrillers by Stephen King and Nordic crime by Camilla Läckberg to timeless children’s classics by Astrid Lindgren and poetic gems from Halfdan Rasmussen. Whether you want feel-good novels, true crime, fantasy, or self-development, there’s plenty to explore to match your interests.

A particular highlight in Nextory’s catalog is the children’s section, which is both extensive and thoughtfully curated. That makes the service especially appealing for families, where reading aloud and audiobooks often play a key role in daily life. Many popular series and characters like “Vitello,” “Villads fra Valby,” and “Peppa Pig” are available as both e-books and audiobooks, and content can be easily filtered by age, theme, and language. This makes it simple for parents to find age-appropriate, engaging reading for kids of all ages—from first picture books to young adult novels.

On top of that, Nextory offers something many competitors don’t: access to digital magazines. You can read popular titles like Euroman, I FORM, Alt for damerne, and many more right in the app—at no extra cost. That makes Nextory more than just an audiobook or e-book service; it’s a complete reading experience covering entertainment, inspiration, and new knowledge.

As a bonus, Nextory lets you create personal reading lists and get recommendations based on your reading and listening history. This keeps the content relevant and tailored to your preferences—especially useful if you use the service often. The “Reading Statistics” feature even helps you track your reading habits over time—perfect for both kids and adults who set goals or simply want to see how many books they finish.

All in all, Nextory offers a versatile, well-rounded library that makes it easy to find something new—whether you have five minutes or several hours available.

Ease of use and features

The app is intuitive and easy to navigate. The layout is clear, and even first-time users will feel at home quickly. You can search for books by title, author, or keywords, and filter by language, genre, length, audience, and age—especially handy if you’re looking for a bedtime story for kids or a short nonfiction title for your commute. You can also create and save your own book lists so you always have a personal collection ready, whether you prefer audiobooks, e-books, or both.

The audiobook player is both capable and flexible. You can adjust playback speed, set a sleep timer, and easily bookmark places you want to revisit—particularly useful if you’re listening while doing other things. The player also remembers your position automatically, so you can pick up right where you left off—even across devices.

Offline functionality is a big plus for those on the go. You can download both audiobooks and e-books for offline use, making it possible to read and listen without using mobile data. It’s especially practical while traveling, at the summer house, or anywhere with spotty internet. Many users cite this as a decisive feature in their daily use.

A unique aspect of Nextory—and something that sets it apart from many competitors—is the “Reading Statistics” feature. You can track how many minutes and pages you read or listen to over time and see your habits visualized in charts and numbers. It provides a fun, motivating overview of your reading patterns. For parents, it’s useful for following children’s reading development, and for adults it works like a personal challenge or “reading journal.” You can set goals and get notifications when you hit milestones—making the experience more interactive and engaging.

All in all, the app supports a modern, flexible reading and listening experience where the technology works for you instead of getting in the way. Whether you use Nextory a few times a week or for hours each day, you’ll quickly notice the app is built with the user’s needs in mind.

Nextory offers several subscription types depending on how many profiles and concurrent listening streams you need:

• Silver: $14/mo – access for 1 user

Nextory vs. the competition

Is Nextory worth it?

Nextory is without a doubt one of the strongest audiobook services on the Danish market right now. The app is user-friendly, the selection is varied, and features like reading statistics and family sharing add extra value.

The only area where we’d like to see more is Danish nonfiction—the selection is a bit thinner compared to international titles.
