I tried a couple of times to find certain audiobooks, but seldomly had luck. There just does not seem to be a place that sells digital versions of audiobooks, similar to how bandcamp sells music.

And even putting on my eye patch and throwing out my fishing net I was not able to find a place to get them.

I do not want to use a subscription service, especially if it’s part of amazon.

Therefore it seems buying a CD and ripping it is the only option left.

      I can’t remember what county I signed up with but I just provided a real address in the county and a fake name and that was it. It’s free. There’s a thread on the other site for libby libraries you can sign up with for free. Some work, some don’t.

      I’ve wondered if there is any way to get an US library card as a non-citizen for a while and this thread got me to finally do the research. The Queens Public Library apparently issues cards to non-US-residents for 50$/year. I have yet to look into it more thoroughly and check out the catalogue. But considering the number of Audiobooks I listen to, it seems like a good deal.
