I find Audible really easy and convenient, but it's frustrating to hear that authors get shafted. Some independent authors I follow have been banned from Amazon's platforms and they were forced to create their own platforms and self-host. The downside is that the audiobooks are more expensive. The upside is that they're DRM-free and the creators receive a much higher percentage of sales, so they can get by with fewer sales.
