Is there any good sites for audiobooks that aren’t behind private trackers? I have a great set up with normal ebooks but my wife’s job has here driving for multiple hours a day so she wants audiobooks and I can’t seem to find any consistent sites.
My suggestion is a little more old-timey. I worked at a number of Goodwill Stores (Thrift Store Chain). The stores I worked at all had a huge selection of audio books on CD, usually for only $1-2. If your car doesn’t have a CD player, you can always choose to rip them to disk. These were well known, mainstream books. Finding niche titles might be harder.
Until someone comes in with a valid option, MyAnonaMouse has open sign ups with a relatively short interview. That was my first private tracker and I passed the interview despite barely knowing how to torrent. I’ve heard invites are easy to come by if you know someone, too. Ratio is incredibly easy to maintain, too.
It is not a public tracker, and as such does not answer your prompt. Just wanted to provide a stopgap until a valid option is suggested.
MAM is one of the better ones for ebooks, too, isn’t it? I should probably look into getting on it.
The “best” tracker for ebooks is, apparently, impossible to get an invite for.
Edit: lol, I should have clicked the link first. Self-described, but “You have found your way to arguably the best private tracker for ebooks…”
Bibliotik, apparently, but I don’t have a membership to check. It’s basically impossible to get an invite, from what I’ve heard.
Libby all the way.
I use Libby every single day. It’s free and linked with your library card. Sometimes books have waits, depending on your library availability, but there are still millions available. When I worked as an Amazon driver, this got me through the long shifts.
Check your local library. I used to visit my local library a lot before the pandemic when I lived closer to one. I borrowed audiobooks all the time and ripped them to my PC.
