FYI you can download your audible audiobooks from the web interface and then get your "activation bytes" (same for every book from your account) and then use ffmpeg to convert them, effectively removing the DRM. Good luck ๐๐
Downloaded and converted ever one to mp3. Definitely was right move.
Remember to download your audio books with something like Libation https://getlibation.com/
Ooh I'd been looking for something like this thanks for sharing.
I was actually thinking that I should look for something like this earlier today! Thank you friend
I quit Amazon yesterday :) I lost all Audible books. I donโt care !
maybe you can tag Teresa Ribera (the acting European Commissioner for Competition) on Mastodon about it, sometimes they reply with a class-action lawsuit against the corpo, for real
Some people will do literally anything except pirate, it seems.
Some people like to actually support the authors and narrators and editors and publishers and translators etc. I'm not against piracy but it absolutely does hurt (especially small and independent) artists and authors.
Any specific reason why Tolino? I am trying to get an ebook reader and was wondering where to move my library, just didnt do the research yet (did try self hosting these but it wasnt hassle free or it wasnt a smooth experience).
Edit: Just tried it on iOS - somewhat broken app as once you select your country (supports AT, DE, CH, and NL), you canโt change it to another one. Quite weird.
No specific reason. I like to read german books as well. So why not try out.
I've moved to libro.fm, through a bookstore in Rotterdam.
Seconded Libro.fm
Found a (for me) working alternative for Audible.
I never liked Audible, even before the whole boycott of US products started. It's kind of a shitty deal for me. Storytel (Swedish) and Audioteka (Polish) are my go to audiobook service.
I don't know why, but I can't stand the compression Audible uses. It does not matter who the narrator is, I can hear the bass compression, which completely destroys the listening experience for me. Storytel has much better audio!
Just because they are evil and use their effective monopoly to crush people doesn't mean you can't like them.
Salt, too isn't available in my country. looks good!
