On the subject of audiobooks… Do any of these places sell drm free files? I got the Janeway autobiography on Audible, and had to download their app to listen to it. It took awhile for me settle down and find the tools to crack it, so I’d always have a copy without requiring a spyware app to listen to it. Any good sellers out there?
The latter says /most/ of their titles are drm free. There may be other annoyances, and I’ll have to drill down when the time comes, but it looks like something’s available.

That’s a for sure buy. My first audiobook was this past winter with Janeway’s autobiography, cause I wanted to hear Mulgrew narrate it.

Answering my own question… These two sites S&S listed appear to sell drm free files…
https://audiobookstore.com/
https://www.audiobooksnow.com/

To add one more, if Libro.fm carries it, their titles are almost always DRM-free.
I use Libro and really like it - drm-free audiobooks are really nice for archives.
For anyone still wanting to use Audible, you can download the files when visiting the site in a browser and I was able to add the books to Apple Books without removing the DRM. Last time I removed DRM to share it with a friend I used AAX Audio Converter
Still, buying from a store without DRM is probably a better choice in the end.
