Thanks to the incredible developers at both audible-cli (https://github.com/mkb79/audible-cli/) and the amazing ffmpeg team, I can recover the books I bought at Audible, before I learned about LibroFM.

That means I can download/liberate my DRM encumbered audiobooks and place them in Audiobookshelf (an amazing program that @peribotsarah introduced me to). It's a bit of a slow process, but at least I have them.

Now I only download books from Libro.fm, which is a DRM-free audiobook online bookstore, but there are sometimes books that aren't available from there, leaving me with a very uncomfortable choice, either buying a DRM-encumbered book and supporting DRM, or not buying the book at all, which deprives me of the enjoyment.

Free Software/Free Culture folks, what do you do in this situation?

btw my worksona is still adoptable!  

i do most things software related, primarily backend and bare metal embedded, with any language that's good for its job (rust is my fav tho)

i need full remote work (health reasons)

i've got a bunch of rather diverse tech skills and knowledge; software ofc, but also electronics hardware, cad, product design, r&d stuff, running server infrastructure...

Works are trying to get us back to in-person work, if another pandemic hits us they won't let us do lockdowns until it is far too late. 

You need to prepare yourself if you are going to want to survive that possibility.
