I happily pay for Audible. It is probably the one Amazon service I truly appreciate. That said I think I should have the right to archive the library DRM free given that I have already paid for it. I don’t think this should be considered piracy at all.
If you want to pay for audiobooks, Libro.FM is a DRM free alternative that allows you to easily download your books without any issues that Libation solves for. It also supports local bookstores in your community while not giving more to Amazon. Only a handful of books aren’t available on Libro but it’s been a seamless transition for us. It’s only going to be difficult if you’re one of those folks who returns/refunds audible credits regularly as it’s not easy to do with Libro.
🏅 Thank you.
I run audiobookshelf with drm free audiobooks, but the nicest thing about kindle/audible is the syncing that happens between them - read on an e-reader, and your progress in the audiobook gets updated.
Anyone know of a solution that provides similar capabilities?
Omg this is amazing.
Not only is this awesome, but their list of books stores to support has expanded my bookstore list by like 20 places…
Removing DRM and archiving is perfectly legal here in Estonia, only thing that counts as piracy here is distributing copyrighted materials without a license. I’m pretty sure it’s not in the US but check your local laws.
Removing DRM and archiving are also legal in the US but it doesn’t stop the megacorps from getting your internet cut off and suing you into poverty if they find out.
I doubt they really care, there’s still a way (to my knowledge) to download audiobooks from audible to mp3. You have to dig a bit to find the option from what i remember. This just makes it easier and in chapterized .m4b goodness.
If anyone is into selfhosting things I recommend audiobookshelf if you want to self host and stream audiobooks. Such a cool project!
Oohh, is there a synology client? I have to look it up.
Oh yeah, it’ll work fine on any truenas/unraid/synology system it works on about anything with docker/linux there’s even a beta for windows.
My only complaint is a lack of URLbase so setting up a reverse proxy on some setups does not work well.
I run everything through a Tailscale intranet, so that should not be a problem.
I had it for a while but it’s just too expensive if you, like me, tend tp give up on books part way through.
Is it even?
i did not look for it in the tos but i guess you don’t own the audiobook and you purchase a license and not the actual audiobook.
