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.

    Libby app. In conjunction with my local public library card. Free audiobooks, e-books, e-magazines and much more!

    https://libro.fm/ you can buy audiobooks through independent book store and they are drm free. It’s great. If you want more of an eye patch solution. You could rip audio from YouTube. There tends to be a lot of books uploaded there.

    Spotify has surprisingly many audiobooks (at least in Germany).

    In case you want to play them someplace else, you could download them with zotify.

    Libby. I got a library card from like… Kentucky library or something. I don’t live in America. I got a library card for my local library too but it doesn’t have as good of a stock.

    believe it or not, the original best audiobook torrent site demonoid is still around. the variety isn’t as varied as it used to be but it’s probably one of the best public aduiobook torrent sites around.
