I tried a couple of times to find certain audiobooks, but seldomly had luck. There just does not seem to be a place that sells digital versions of audiobooks, similar to how bandcamp sells music.

And even putting on my eye patch and throwing out my fishing net I was not able to find a place to get them.

I do not want to use a subscription service, especially if it’s part of amazon.

Therefore it seems buying a CD and ripping it is the only option left.

    Libby. I got a library card from like… Kentucky library or something. I don’t live in America. I got a library card for my local library too but it doesn’t have as good of a stock.

        I’ve wondered if there is any way to get an US library card as a non-citizen for a while and this thread got me to finally do the research. The Queens Public Library apparently issues cards to non-US-residents for 50$/year. I have yet to look into it more thoroughly and check out the catalogue. But considering the number of Audiobooks I listen to, it seems like a good deal.

    https://libro.fm/ you can buy audiobooks through independent book store and they are drm free. It’s great. If you want more of an eye patch solution. You could rip audio from YouTube. There tends to be a lot of books uploaded there.

    Spotify has surprisingly many audiobooks (at least in Germany).

    In case you want to play them someplace else, you could download them with zotify.
