Audiobooks

Overview

These guides aim to help you move away from the big tech monopolies. By using their audiobook services, you give them more control of the global market and let specialist services fade away. Amazon has notoriously used predatory tactics to gain market control from selling e-books at a loss to enforcing exclusivity. Now, with a near-monopoly, they are further pressuring authors into lower royalties and limiting consumer options. As such, this category is a moderate-hard switch. There are many excellent options, but it can take a while for certain audiobooks to become available. You can also use this in conjunction with a library app where you can rent titles for free.
