I have a lot of books on Audible. I would like to download them in a format that is decrypted in case Audible goes "Mammaries skywards" in the future, or is taken over by another company that demands you pay for all your books again. I came across a free program called Libation. You can view it on GitHub and it can be installed on most operating systems. It has all sorts of filtering options and will download a postage stamp size icon. Note you can only download books that you have purchased from Audible. -------------- AJ Santos on What’s Going On With Voyager 1?

Are we about to lose the second-longest operating spacecraft in human history? ------------------- Banters: Knocking out a Quick Bant Streaming woes… farewell Netflix and Prime?
