I don't have a problem with paying people for their labor, but I do want to have books that I actually own. I'm done paying for things that are locked into a particular corporate app. How do I buy ebooks and audio books that I actually own? Is this even possible in 2025?

Oh, wow, nice!

Hadn't heard of them and was expecting it to have a very, very limited catalog like a lot of other DRM-free options. But at least the author I searched for has pretty much most of their catalog.

Will definitely buy my next series from them.

From what I've seen, Libro has one of the most expansive catalogs outside of Audible. What they don't have is mostly down to Audible Originals/Exclusives, sadly, there are a lot of those.
