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!

Screenshot from libro.fm product listing for the audiobook edition of "Shadows Upon Time" by Christopher Ruocchio, reading "This title will be eliglble for purchase with membership credits on February 16, 2026" despite the title's publication date being listed as "November 18, 2025".
