Thoughts on how to take your library out of audible?

I’m pretty sure even if you drop the membership you get to keep access to the books, but considering the amount of money I spent on them over the years I would really rather make sure. Anyone got the best option for saving you catalogue DRM free and offline?

Thanks!

I use OpenAudible. It does a fantastic job. It downloads and converts to mp3. Best of all is it is cross platform for Windows, Mac, and Linux.

Yes, you can download your audiobooks on your PC with the Audible App and then use this tool to convert it. If you use M4A, the chapters should stay intact.

You do get to keep access to books you’ve purchased but if you’re in the audible plus thing and you got any “free” books, you would lose access to those when you end your membership.

But they could just take it away whenever they want right, if your account got locked or they changed the TOS?
