Hello fellow pirates 👋
I'm sick of Audible and it's buggy app. Due to their excessive a/b testing the app stops working every second night. So I setup a selfhosted audiobookshelf instance.

However, I need my audiobooks to fall asleep and I don't want to listen to the same books again and again, so I need a new source. Do you have any recommendations? In best case in German language, in worst case in English.

Thank you in advance! ☺️

I hate these download pages that partner with scammy hosting providers. They are always shit to use and want some payment data and they make it intentionally difficult to not buy those premium accounts. Fuck all of them.

I know. What helps is to learn which buttons to click and which ones to avoid. A good adblocker (uBlock for example) and some downloader. Not sure what people use these days, I have JDownloader2.
Still sucks, but it works. Not sure if there's better options out there, I'm not aware of any.

I never buy premium accounts either. I don't want to support their business model. IMO piracy needs to be free. Once I want to pay money, that goes towards the artists who created the content.
