I would just be happy if there was a way I could simply buy and download audiobooks
instead it’s some kafkaesque kabuki dance/rube Goldberg machine required to listen to an audiobook without getting into a long-term monopolistic audible subscription
- firstlink 3y agoYou can buy and download audiobooks on audible. Stripping the drm (for personal archival purposes) is so easy I can only imagine it was made intentionally weak to capture a certain segment of the market.

- 35997279 3y agoLibro.fm is a good alternative. No DRM.
- dublinben 3y agoYou can buy and download individual audiobooks on Downpour.com, which come free of any DRM. You can find a long list of DRM-free audiobook sources here: https://www.defectivebydesign.org/guide/ebooks https://www.defectivebydesign.org/guide/ebooks
