The spoken word
In the apps, you can get all the Mass readings and all the Hours spoken in English, right through, every day. You need a subscription for these, but you can listen to a free sample before deciding, and the first month of each subscription is free.
The sung word
Sung Latin Compline is also available for purchase in the apps. It isn’t expensive. Read all about it and listen to samples.
E-books
You can create e-books for your e-book reader (including the Amazon Kindle), and there are some ready-made ones you can buy as well. They cover the Mass or the Hours for every day within a given period. Here are the full details.
