Semi-related, but several years ago I had a good experience getting my audiobooks from audible with https://github.com/rmcrackan/Libation
Libation and OpenAudible are amazing.
Typical, I’ve just spent several hours over the last few days downloading everything manually 😫
Same here lol, glad to see it’s easier for everyone else now though!
Did this for my dad a year ago, got him a Boox and set up calibre. Between libraries and drm free sources Ive got him almost completely off of amazon.
How’s the battery life? I have the first gen and it keep crashing and battery drained down so fast.
Just get a Kobo. Don’t support Amazon surveillance
I guess that tool helps with this transition
Definitely. My response was probably a little glib.
Tools like this, that help people escape locked down systems are worth their weight in gold.
I know what you mean. But saying a (weightless) software is worth their weight in gold made me chuckle.
Doesn’t Kobo use Adobe DRM? I don’t see how that’s much better than Kindle.
I have a bunch of books from both stores, and Google too. The downloading and DRM removal process was about the same for all of them.
They’re allegedly working with bookshop.org so at least you’ll be able to support a local bookstore.
