Ask HN: Where do you guys find audiobooks?

In the process of digital detox, I am able to acquire a used iPod. Trying to find good quality downloadable audiobooks for me. I have some luck with using some torrents, but not enough audiobooks are there, at lease the genre I am interested in. What are your sources? How do you get them?

TA.

Don't forget to check out Libby. Plug in your library card and you can check out audiobooks for free.

I made a telegram bot for my mother that downloads yt videos and extracts the audio and makes it available to her via jellyfin from my homeserver. She downloaded way over 1tb in a year.

Once every few month I transfer everything to an SD kart and hand it to her.

So: youtube is pretty full of audiobooks also very recent ones - and shes only searching for german ones.

Like others mentioned, your library + Libby is a great resource, especially if you're in a major metro. I moved away from a major metro and kind of miss how rich the selection for materials was (I was spoiled!). It's not bad where I'm at now, but any major city should have a great selection, and using Libby is easy.

If you want to sail the high seas, MyAnonaMouse is one of the best private trackers.

If you want a public tracker, I’ve heard good things about Audiobookbay
