I just need something that can replace audible.

Check if your library has access to libby. Or get a free library card from one of the big cities that does. You have to "check out" the books / audiobooks and they don't always have everything.

Fun tip for anyone reading this: You can probably get library cards to multiple libraries too. I live in MA, so I have one to my local library (which on Libby/Overdrive is several libraries that decided to roll up together under one banner, so that was cool), and to the Boston Public Library which naturally has a giant selection. Wait times can be long for newer stuff, but the more library cards you have the better the odds of getting something sooner than later.
