edit: Libation apps needs you to give it your amazon password and ID, it’s foss and I trust it. (editing because seemed important)

Amazon allows you to download the book from Audible, but you need a code/password or something like that to read it. Libation can basically convert these encrypted files into decrypted mp3 files by getting this code from the website, I am pretty sure you can get it too. So, my question is, why aren’t there more pirates pirating audiobooks? Why isn’t every audiobook on audible available online for free?

I mean, many are, but why is it not more prevalent?

    I listen to hundreds of audiobooks and I’ve literally never been unable to find an audiobook I wanted to pirate. Audiobook/eBook piracy is huge.

      Where do you go for audiobooks? What player(s) do you use?

      Money is getting tight with some life changes and don’t know that I can afford to stick with my audible subscription.

    Pretty much every book is available the day of release. Not sure what you’re talking about.

    Pirates don’t use audible. More to the point you still have to buy books on audible. So no one is just automatically ripping everything

      IDK, I rip literally everything I buy on audible. I have been since they replaced RC Bray with fucking Wil Wheton for The Martian. I want the version I paid for and I’m going to keep it goddamnit!

        Probably a stupid question, but how do you rip the drm? I hate having to use my phone to listen to it in my car, for example, and I don’t have unlimited data or an audio jack (I know, I can download the app, and have play through that, I don’t want their stupid app). I want to load an mp3 on my thumb drive, and plug that into the car, and leave it in the car until I need to load a new mp3. I’ve done a recording, but have to let it run the length of the program, and that’s just annoying.
