    Thanks for this, Audible is really expensive and I am out of work right now so this is a great alternative for me and many others who are on a budget. Granted the selection is not as good, but it is a free service so that's to be expected. But there is still a ton of content available and it is all free. I found audio books at my library that were going for like 30-40 bucks on audible that I was able to listen to for free.

    Hey, words aren’t enough to express my gratitude to you. Just discovered my library (New Zealand) has 22k audio books in there via libby. Although most of these are fiction, which I don’t read/listen but still there are hundreds of non-fiction books many of which, I’m sure, would be of my interest. Thanks man

      Sometimes if you read a older fiction book it feels a lot like a historical non fiction book...in terms of feeling.. Because it may have a fictional plot, but the setting, attitude of society, the technology and the story, and the food they eat, it's like the this is how those historical figures we read about live their daily lives..
      It's worth listening to just a couple of the classics. It's a lot different reading about the napoleonic wars when you can read the fiction and stories written by people who were living through that history

I would not have joined if I had realized. My bad, I needed to research more, but honestly it never even occurred to me that I wasn't purchasing, just renting.

    I've been doing it for years. I used to live in America and got a library card. But 10 years on I can still use my American library card in Ireland so the great thing is it's not geoblocked if you use your American library card in Europe.
    I tend to buy audiobooks that are over 20 hours long from audible because it will just take me too long to get through the whole thing and it would mean I would have to constantly keep renewing the book and sometimes you have to wait to be able to get the book re assigned to you again as other people are waiting. The issue with Libby is that it only allows you to borrow for between 7 to 21 days and if the book is very long, that may not be enough time. That's when purchasing the book is better. But it is great for books that are around 10 hours long.

    This video’s title is misleading. It’s about borrowing audiobooks, not getting them to keep.
    Even audible without an app like Libation really doesn’t let you own books as they are tired to your account.
    To truly own audiobooks, you need to buy them on CD or download and decrypt them .
    Trust me, my Amazon account, which was linked to my audible account, was hacked. I lost access to all digital content on both platforms.
    Well, except for the ebooks and audiobooks that I de-drm’ed.

    Hoooly Fuck! Can't wait to try this!! I'm super jealous of people who read a lot of books. I myself at 39 have probably only read....5 books beginning to end? I get distracted too easy. I put things off. I TRIED to read digital books on my phone but within a handful of minutes, I get distracted. I probably have some sort of ADHD or something. Lol.
    However. I DO hike a lot. usually it's podcasts I listen to while hiking but today while on a hike I thought, "Wait...why not a book!? You read "Haunted" by Chuck Palihnuik years ago and enjoyed it! Why not listen to it!"
    I then downloaded Audible and holy fuck! I can only get audiobooks by paying for a monthly membership!? And THEN buying the audio book!?
    I pay for enough monthly streaming services and I don't want to shell out another $15 a month for something I'll only use sometimes.
    So thank you for this! I'm legit going to try this once I'm done on my current hike to have an audio book for my next one!
    EDIT: I live in a decent sized city...and their library isn't one of the ones I can choose on Libby! 😭 Lol

    So I am wondering how I can get audiobooks without, needing to be plugged in to the matrix.
    I honestly wish they just had cds or casettes? I mean old cds had a way to go to different songs which is the same as a chapter? So if I had a cd of an audiobook surely I could still switch between chapters?

    • @LukeParon
      @LukeParon  4 года назад

      It depends on what you define as dramatic. I think in the Dune audiobook, it really helps that they have multiple actors to play the different roles. Especially in there massive dialogue scenes such as Paul sitting in on his fathers meeting. If it was just one performer I could see how it would get incredibly confusing.

    Click bait title.
    You are not getting Audible books. You are getting free audio books via the local library via Overdrive/Libby subscribed services. I have used the Overdrive service for about two decades. Plus, I have a card to one of the top ten libraries in the country. A more realistic estimate is that Audible has 100% of the available audiobooks. My library has only about 80 to 90%. This is especially true of books series that are older than 7 to ten years ago. Plus a library may not elect to include an audio books due to budget limitations. Finally, Libby has significant design flaws when it comes to requesting books that your library may not initially choose to carry. But, for the price, these short comings worth putting up with for the savings of an Audible subscription.

    Thanks. But I think it’s a drag that audible won’t allow you to just buy the book you want. Yes, they are too expensive.
