Extracted all my audiobooks from Audible and de-DRMed them in about 10 minutes this afternoon. Now I have all the digital book material I ever bought from Amazon in formats I can control.
If this interests you, Calibre and Libation are your go-to projects.
So I'm a bit further along, same process, and got rid of Amazon last year. When the latest Murderbot came out, I got it on Kobo.
Now I need to change it to mp3 so I can add it to the rest in my VLC playlist. Does anybody know how I could do that?

@springdiesel @franksting I would be interested to know what someone should use to read and gather your Kobo titles, especially if they don't have a Kobo device?
Given they have pushed users to their web app - an anti-user move if ever there was one - what's the useful path to controlling those titles?
At some point, they're likely to stop remaining app installations from working, at which point Kobo title owners lose control of their purchased material.
I did not know that!
@springdiesel @franksting to your other question, Handbrake is possibly the app to do audio file conversion. It's a video transcoder, but I know it does audio formats as well.
Ooh, I'll look into it. Thanks!

Not the OP, but allow me to jump in with a recommendation for 'Voice' (if you're on Android).
