Yes I have Libby. It’s awesome but waiting for months before some audiobooks get available and only have it for 14 days is frustrating.
Piracy and libraries can mix. Once you have your file, use calibre or similar to strip out the DRM and then return the book immediately.
Raises the borrowings in the library's records, showing use, lets someone else borrow the book, and now you don't have to return your DRM-free copy.
Unfortunately, audiobooks are played right within the Libby App, so u can’t extract the audio. It works with e-books, but not audiobooks.
Record it maybe? Not sure if that can work. But maybe you can let it play overnight, recorded in Audacity line-in or something?
Dang I didn't think of that.
Could definitely play it on a computer and link the sound to a recording device, although then you lose all the metadata like chapter info and get some loss. But as a personal copy, that's arguably fine.
