Audio books are free with Libby. Fuck audible. Support libraries.
Worse is Audible is about to put ads in their books. Which is bullshit if I pay for a book no way should they be allowed to add ads into my books.
There are other ways to get your audiobooks ad-free.
Actually, now that I'm thinking about it, there should be more discussion about ways to get ebooks and audiobooks outside of the major paid platforms like Audible. I was gonna make a wink-wink-nudge-nudge reference to pirating here, which is viable, but then I realized I couldn't name 5 legitimate audiobook providers off the top of my head, and I consume a lot of books!
So besides Audible and Libby, can anyone tell me about good, legitimate sources for audiobooks?
I like downpour.com, and I have used audible-tools.kamsker.at to remove the DRM from audible.
