   Fediverse! Where do you buy #audiobooks? Preferably #DRM-free. I am looking for audio|#books in #german & #english

     @jayvii Maybe @libreture would be interested in expanding their list of DRM free ebook stores to also audio book stores, and could use this list? Just a thought :)

     @jayvii @forteller

     An intriguing suggestion.

     The DRM-free bookshop list is integrally connected to Libreture. Anyone adding an ebook to ther Libreture cloud library can select which bookshop it came from (the same list). When other readers see the ebook listed, they can then see where to buy it in DRM-free formats.

     If I was to create or include audiobooks, I'd have to consider supporting storing and tracking audiobooks in Libreture... 🤔

     Not sure which way I'd go at the moment. 😉

     @libreture @jayvii Sure, implementing support for audiobooks could be cool, but personally I think you could also just have a list of DRM-free audio book stores, without integrating audio books in other ways. Just on the side of the other liste of stores. There's nothing wrong with that if the other option is too much work. But you decide, of course! :)
