The project has versions for Windows, Linux and macOS, and even ARM builds for those using M Series macs and ARM on Linux.

I happily pay for Audible. It is probably the one Amazon service I truly appreciate. That said I think I should have the right to archive the library DRM free given that I have already paid for it. I don't think this should be considered piracy at all.
I doubt they really care, there's still a way (to my knowledge) to download audiobooks from audible to mp3. You have to dig a bit to find the option from what i remember. This just makes it easier and in chapterized .m4b goodness.
If anyone is into selfhosting things I recommend audiobookshelf if you want to self host and stream audiobooks. Such a cool project!
Oh yeah, it'll work fine on any truenas/unraid/synology system it works on about anything with docker/linux there's even a beta for windows.
My only complaint is a lack of URLbase so setting up a reverse proxy on some setups does not work well.
I run everything through a Tailscale intranet, so that should not be a problem.
I had it for a while but it's just too expensive if you, like me, tend tp give up on books part way through.
Just to commenting to keep the knowledge: There are other projects that can de-drm audible. Amazon probably knows this and tolerates it. In fact, a long time ago all downloads on Linux did not have DRM. Those days are gone, but this https://github.com/mkb79/audible-cli should work.
As soon as you have 'activation bytes' many tools can play and convert the downloads.
Do DeDRM, and yet they host their code on GitHub and have a link directly to PayPal in the README for funding? Are these guys trying to get sued?
Yeah, after the yuzu debacle, if I were anywhere close to the gray side of piracy I would pull down any and all links to funding.
I'm not sure how you would actually get that necessary funding - maybe through discord links periodically?
Surprised no one has mentioned OpenAudible. https://openaudible.org/
IMHO a paid and closed source program shouldn't have "open" in their name
Sure, but this wasn't an open source discussion. I really enjoy the software, if there are FOSS alternatives I'd be down to switch for sure.
