Does anyone have good sources for audio books? Finding a specific book can often be hit or miss on torrent sites.

You can access audiobooks for free, from your local library, using the Libby app.

Been doing this for years now, it’s great! The only downside is if you’re looking for a popular title, you’ll likely end up waiting a couple weeks.

But it’s super easy to just take something else out while you’re waiting and react when your book is available

If you have a PC, the overdrive website and application still work. The downloads are more friendly to format shifting than Libby’s are.

It’s great of you’re in a country where Overdrive is widely available.

My library also supports LibriVox and Hoopla. They also have two isles of CD audiobooks and you can sign up to borrow others from the library in the area. They may not have everything, but have a pretty decent enough selection to keep me entertained for the most part.

You don’t really have to. On the invite page you’ll get a code that you just have to copy paste into the chat and then you wait for your interview. The interview ist just admins checking if you read and understood the rules, what username you want and some details about how you are going to use the site.

Completely worth it. Tons of content and a great community.

The interview process isn’t a big deal at all… basically just asking questions to confirm you understand the rules.

Also, probably the best community of any PT out there.
