@uehmche @OStoj Ich bin Fan von #Hörbüchern #Hörbuch und mache das mit libro.fm #librofm . Damit kann man theoretisch auch den örtlichen #Buchhandel unterstützen, nur machen in Deutschland bisher nur wenige mit. Aber einen davon berücksichtige ich mit meinem Abo.

Folks still using Audible, here’s my semi-regular plug that Libro.fm continues to be awesome for me after many years! I had a question late last night and this morning they answered and solved it with their fast and friendly customer support.
Also - they let you download your audio files! You can take them and put them in any other audio device or app you might want to use.

Argh... once again Audible's #Enshittification reaches its tentacles out to degrade the options for everyone else; in this case, #librofm customers not being able to use our credits on new titles until Audible gets its exclusive turn at it for 3 months. @pluralistic it's already time for an addendum to the new book!

@pluralistic I was listening to Enshittification on audiobook (shout out to #LibroFM!) and learned something about my own government. I knew that the governing parties are in love with foreign direct investment, but it's strange to watch regulatory capture in real time:

Thanks to a tip from @neurovagrant, I have cancelled my audible subscription and I have created an account with libro.fm.
As I listen to audiobooks alsmost exclusively in English, any Dutch services do not cover my audio/listening needs and wishes.
To check if libro.fm was a good fit for me, I compared my wishlist at audible (currently at about 30 titles) with the libro.fm catalogue: apart from 1 title it was a complete fit.
Next up: copying over my wishlist from one to the other, check out the specific membership options (probably going for a 2 credit/month version again) and get ready to listen.
Biggest perk: you can Download Your Purchased Audio Books!
Second biggest perk: supporting an independent bookstore, unfortunately only in the USA at the moment.

If you’re working to de-Amazon your audiobook library please consider abandoning Audible permanently once you’ve liberated your books. Try Libro.fm (referral link).
Libro.fm has a fantastic library, shares proceeds with your designated brick-and-mortar bookstore, and most amazingly is DRM-free and allows downloading.
