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.

"He that cannot forgive others breaks the bridge over which he must pass 
himself," and we forget that only grace can break the cycle of ancient hatreds 
among peoples. (It is notable that while I have regretted not granting grace to 
others, I've never once regretted extending it.)" - Edward Herbert
