Thanks for the link to Libro.fm; it looks like a great initiative. Unfortunately, for a lot of titles I'm interested in, I get this message: "You appear to be accessing the site from a country where this title has restricted rights". Do you know of a similar audiobook provider for the EU?

Unfortunately I don't. What I can do is list all the services I know of which sell DRM-Free Audiobooks in the US:

• Libro.fm

• Downpour.com

• Audiobooksnow.com (Check for a "Downloadable" icon, a very small number of tiles without it have DRM).

• Google Play

I bounce between the first three of these regularly, based on price and availability. I've never actually used Google Play for audiobooks; they always seems to cost more.

Hopefully at least one of those has better offerings in the EU!

Thanks for that list. I only got into listening to audiobooks last year when I started walking a lot more (due to Covid-19 restrictions). My local public library had a deal with Bolinda where library members could rent audiobooks at no cost. The catch is that (due to artificial scarcity), the user usually has to wait a couple of months before the title they're interested in becomes available. It turned out that Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone was immediately available so after listening to that, I continued with the rest of the series. When I became too impatient to wait for the next title to become available, I was able to purchase non-DRM MP3 files from JK Rowling's own site, Pottermore.
