Audiobook sites! (programming.dev)

I really like Audiobookbay for discovering new books, but if I'm searching for something specific it is a bit annoying to navigate with their sometimes broken search and the vague categorization. Seeding is also sometimes sparse, especially with older uploads..

Does anyone know good alternatives? There doesn't seem to be an audiobook category in the megathread (yet) ;)

Note that you have to pay for an OpenAudible license to be able to use it with more than a few tracks.

If you can get your activation bytes from one of your DRM-protected files using https://audible-converter.ml, you can then just use ffmpeg (e.g. ffmpeg -activation_bytes XXXXXXXX -i audiobook.aax -c copy audiobook.m4b) or https://github.com/audiamus/AaxAudioConverter to remove the DRM.

Unfortunately this doesn't work for the Japanese store (and a few others) that seem to use a different DRM scheme with a separate key for each file, so you have to use OpenAudible for these.
