#54man i still end up juggling three different apps for all my audiobooks and podcasts, would be nice if just one setup handled all the offline stuff and syncing clean

#55I've found AntennaPod [1] absolutely brilliant for android podcasts -- it _just works_, downloads the audio files, is robust, etc. Very high quality software. This looks a bit more like a long-term storage solution for podcasts though, rather than shorter term listening. And of course with excellent metadata integration.

#56How is the Android app? The only good app for local audio-books I know is "Smart AudioBook Player". The web-app GUI in the demo is less than perfect, but kinda ok, if you enable chapter-view. The biggest problem is a single set of ±10 s rewind buttons: for a dedicated audio-book player it's not enough, a separate ±1 min button set is a must. But since the authors didn't think of that, I don't expect it to be differen…
Do you have any other favorite features from Smart Audiobook Player? I'm building an audiobook app now. I have some unique features unrelated to playback, but I also want it to be an excellent player.

#57What's a good source for DRM-free audiobooks? I'd love to ditch Audible and move to something like this, but I haven't found a store that has a good selection. (Edit: thank you, everybody, for the great answers!!!)
You can strip the DRM from audible books and create mp4s using ffmpeg. Although, given Amazon’s recent efforts with the kindle, I’m going to say they will probably remove the ability to download books soon
What's been going on with the kindle? Would be interested in reading more about this.

I wouldn't want them bundled together. Focus on one thing - when I want to listen to an audio book I'm not after a podcast or music. I have other apps for that.
