sGreetings, Since Audible has been discussed a lot lately, I wanted to mention an alternative resource that I am seriously considering. It is called Libro.fm. They seem to have everything Audible has, minus the audible originals of course, at roughly the same price; but you can pick a local bookstore to support and they get half of the money. They have a membership that gets you one book a month for $14.99 per month, first book free. They are non-DRM books, so can be played on any player. I've not started my membership yet because the first book I want to try is not available yet do to the pandemic. The reader hasn't been able to go into the studio to record the book, Riviera Gold, by Laurie R. King. The 16th book in the Mary Russell, Sherlock Holmes series.
Finding the search area of their web site is tricky and I have given them feedback about the accessibility, and they always respond quickly; but getting their web designer to make changes may take longer. Since I have not actually started my membership, I cannot speak to how easy it is to get the books either in their app, or as I would likely due, into Voice Dream Reader. I've pasted the info about membership below if anyone wants to take the plunge. Start Your Membership Get your first month for free and support local bookstores.
