I haven't subscribed to Audible for a few years now, but a few days ago I finally managed to find time and energy to pull the files and convert them to mp3. Took a day, had to fight with the Libation app to get it running properly (if you are on Linux using it, change the temp file directory to something other than what it stupidly uses as default). But I'm so glad I finally did it, I felt joy deleting my account. I know it probably doesn't affect anything but it made me feel warm and fuzzy.
