This page explains our relationships with the companies whose products we review, in compliance with the US Federal Trade Commission's Endorsement Guides.

Affiliate programs we participate in

Readiolist is a participant in the following affiliate programs:

  • Amazon Associates — we earn a small commission on qualifying purchases made through our Amazon and Audible links.
  • Audible Affiliate Program — we earn a referral fee when readers sign up for an Audible membership through our links.

What this means in practice

When you click an affiliate link on this site and complete a purchase or sign-up on Amazon or Audible, we receive a small commission. The price you pay is exactly the same as if you had visited Amazon or Audible directly.

Affiliate links are typically marked with rel="sponsored" in the HTML, in line with Google's guidelines for transparent linking.

How we keep reviews honest

  • We listen to every audiobook we review in full.
  • We do not accept gifts, free copies, or paid placements from publishers.
  • We do not preferentially link to books with higher commission rates.
  • When we list a book as an "Editor's Pick," it reflects editorial judgment, not commercial agreement.

If you have any concerns about a specific review or recommendation, please contact us at hello@readiolist.com.
