    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?

      Yeah I looked too but I really enjoy listening to warhammer audiobooks. Libby is not an option and the libraties here don’t have any of those books available. Audible has every single one the moment they release.

        I read the other day here on Lemmy about various US libraries accepting anyone to sign up. They say it’s for local residents, but anyone can sign up with a fake address and use it for Libby. IIRC, Chicago and Brooklyn among others were confirmed to be working. Maybe they have the books? I think if you search Lemmy for “Libby”, you’ll find the thread somewhere.
