Serge from Babka<p>Thanks to the incredible developers at both audible-cli (<a href="https://github.com/mkb79/audible-cli/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">github.com/mkb79/audible-cli/</span><span class="invisible"></span></a>) and the amazing ffmpeg team, I can recover the books I bought at Audible, before I learned about LibroFM.</p><p>That means I can download/liberate my DRM encumbered audiobooks and place them in Audiobookshelf (an amazing program that <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://babka.social/@peribotsarah" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>peribotsarah</span></a></span> introduced me to). It's a bit of a slow process, but at least I have them.</p><p>Now I only download books from Libro.fm, which is a DRM-free audiobook online bookstore, but there are sometimes books that aren't available from there, leaving me with a very uncomfortable choice, either buying a DRM-encumbered book and supporting DRM, or not buying the book at all, which deprives me of the enjoyment.</p><p>Free Software/Free Culture folks, what do you do in this situation?</p><p><a href="https://babka.social/tags/Audiobooks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Audiobooks</span></a> <a href="https://babka.social/tags/DRM" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DRM</span></a> <a href="https://babka.social/tags/Audiobookshelf" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Audiobookshelf</span></a> <a href="https://babka.social/tags/Audible" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Audible</span></a> <a href="https://babka.social/tags/LibroFM" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LibroFM</span></a> <a href="https://babka.social/tags/FreeSoftware" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FreeSoftware</span></a> <a href="https://babka.social/tags/FreeCulture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FreeCulture</span></a></p>
