  Unfortunately I don't. What I can do is list all the services I know of which sell DRM-Free Audiobooks in the US: • Libro.fm • Downpour.com • Audiobooksnow.com (Check for a "Downloadable" icon, a very small number of tiles without it have DRM). • Google Play I bounce between the first three of these regularly, based on price and availability. I've never actually used Google Play for audiobooks; they always seems to cost more. Hopefully at least one of those has better offerings in the EU!

    Thanks for that list. I only got into listening to audiobooks last year when I started walking a lot more (due to Covid-19 restrictions). My local public library had a deal with Bolinda where library members could rent audiobooks at no cost. The catch is that (due to artificial scarcity), the user usually has to wait a couple of months before the title they're interested in becomes available. It turned out that Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone was immediately available so after listening to that, I continued with the rest of the series. When I became too impatient to wait for the next title to become available, I was able to purchase non-DRM MP3 files from JK Rowling's own site, Pottermore.
