Hello fellow pirates 👋
I’m sick of Audible and it’s buggy app. Due to their excessive a/b testing the app stops working every second night. So I setup a selfhosted audiobookshelf instance.

However, I need my audiobooks to fall asleep and I don’t want to listen to the same books again and again, so I need a new source. Do you have any recommendations? In best case in German language, in worst case in English.

Thank you in advance! ☺️

    I feel like it’s only a matter of time until Amazon kills this too after they locked down Kindle dedrm.

    When the time comes I guess I will have to find a better way to get audiobooks than signing up for 1€/month Audible trial twice a year.

      Probably. Libation uses the auth key from the Audible iPhone app. However: Apps have to have their secret hard coded. They can only rotate it. YouTube tries this too. But one update later yt-dlp works again. So I guess this is a fight Amazon can’t win.
