Audible is ok, but you have to have restraint. Get you 12 or 24 credits, Make sure none of the books you're buying are available through overdrive with your library, spend your points, cancel, go through all those books, Read a few on dead trees, or even a few from LibGen, then when it's all done wait until you can't wait anymore and sign up for another 12 or 24 credits.

Save your audio books for when you're driving or cooking or cleaning, Don't just sit on the couch and listen to them.

And use the tools to rip them immediately. Until you extract mp3 data out of your books they're not you are books.

Sorry I was driving at the time and Google AI is slowly ruining voice dictation. They're not your books.
