Wait, I'm confused. Are we talking about the book by Jon Krakauer or the movie tie-in? The audiobook I found was just the original book. Sometimes movie cover editions have slightly different narrators or abridgments. Just something to watch for when you search. The original Krakauer book is what you want. The narration by Campbell Scott is, in my opinion, definitive. It's calm, measured, and avoids melodrama. Finding it free is a matter of checking your library's digital shelves. If you don't see it, ask a librarian. They can sometimes pull strings or know about upcoming purchases. Librarians are the unsung heroes of the free content world.

As someone who's always on the lookout for great deals, I've explored quite a few audiobook subscriptions, and yes, many of them offer free trials. Services like 'Audible' and 'Scribd' provide 30-day free trials, giving you full access to their libraries. 'Audible' even lets you keep a free book after the trial ends, which is a sweet deal. 'Libro.fm' supports indie bookstores and also has a 30-day trial.
For those who love classics, 'Loyal Books' is entirely free, though it doesn’t have the latest releases. 'Spotify' has started including audiobooks in its premium subscription, and if you haven’t used their free trial before, it’s worth checking out. Just remember to cancel before the trial ends if you don’t want to continue. These trials are perfect for binge-listening to a series or testing if the service fits your lifestyle.

The public domain status is tricky. The book itself isn't public domain, but some recordings might be. That's where platforms like LibriVox come in, but they only have books where the text is PD. So, 'Into the Wild' won't be there. Stick to the mainstream commercial or library platforms to be safe and support the author and publisher.

Kobo has an audiobook store too. They frequently have sales and promotions. If you use a Kobo eReader or their app, purchasing the audiobook integrates nicely. It's another legitimate storefront to consider alongside the bigger names like Audible and Apple.

A friend in Canada says it's on Kobo Plus there! So it really is a regional licensing thing. That adds another layer of complexity. If you're using a VPN or have an account in a different region, your access could change entirely.
This is why blanket answers online are so tricky. The best anyone can give is a data point for their specific location and service on the day they checked. Always assume your mileage may vary.

Pro-tip: if you start an Audible trial, download the audiobook to your device immediately. That way, even if you cancel the next day, the downloaded file remains playable (at least in the app). I'm not sure if that's officially true forever, but it's worked for me in the past.

I tried the Scribd trial for this. It was there. Listened to the whole thing over a weekend. Then I discovered their 'available catalog' shifts based on what you listen to. After finishing a couple of big titles, some things became 'available later.' It's a bit of a mystery algorithm. Still, for one book during a trial, it's flawless.
