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.
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.
I absolutely love Libro.fm. People can choose a local physical store for Libro to donate to.
How much do Libro.fm Affiliates earn?
Our affiliate program offers a 10% commission on each audiobook and credit bundle, and a 30% one-time commission on each new monthly membership. Commission is earned on each qualifying sale (excluding tax, returns, and cancellations).
Their customer service is phenomenal. Multiple times, there were some audiobooks that they did not have on their website that I wanted, so I sent them an email asking if they might be able to obtain them. They reached out to the distributors and got them on their store for me to buy in less than a week each time!
Libby app. In conjunction with my local public library card. Free audiobooks, e-books, e-magazines and much more!
Libby + librivox.org + archive.org has a ton of options especially classics
When all else fails, Audiobookbay and and Anonamouse are my go-to sites.
I’m sure your public library has some kind of online resource, Go ask them.
