Xigxag is mentioned, but you're right that I forgot to include BookBeat. The others are US based apps but support your local library/bookstore

Thanks for this. I spend so much time on the content from guide to guide that I forget how someone reading it for the first time might interpret it.

Will update the guide and post it to !PurchaseWithPurpose@lemmy.world

Thanks for the suggestion! Will add it to the next version of the guide.

Profit Share is good! It means they are sharing in the revenue. In this case, it is with your local libraries or bookstore!

Another shoutout to the "Library Extension". It will help you find alternatives should Storytel not have the option you want.

If someone wants to transcribe these guides, then I am more than happy to include them!

It does mention supporting your local bookstore and libraries. You can also get Audiobooks for free (minus a library card), so there is a financial benefit.

This is the first version of this guide, so please share any feedback, and I'll include it in the next version!

Note: I include the services that directly support local libraries and/or are non-profit organizations

I found this one the most insightful guide to date! I always thought that Audible had no better alternatives. I couldn't have been more wrong!

It might mean using one/two different apps, but plenty of better options are available. And you can support your local library or bookstore.

P.S. I am aware that I am a week behind schedule... my job sadly has gotten in the way of things last week.

It is noted at the bottom, but I forgot to highlight it! Thanks for pointing that out.

haha my bad - fixed.
