Favorite thing lately is finding an article I wish were in podcast form, saving the text to a .txt file, then having TTS Util use RH Voice to convert the file into an audio reading, and listen to my own little robotic FOSS nanny read me the stories I want to hear in my headphones as I do yardwork.

If you’re working to de-Amazon your audiobook library please consider abandoning Audible permanently once you’ve liberated your books. Try Libro.fm (referral link).

Libro.fm has a fantastic library, shares proceeds with your designated brick-and-mortar bookstore, and most amazingly is DRM-free and allows downloading.

Hey hey #AUDIOBOOKS folks, do you have a favorite free iOS app? Or one where you pay once and then you own it?

I'm looking for an app that will read my files, and do bookmarks. There is BookPlayer, which is lovely and I am paying for that currently, but I'm just curious if a free option exists?

(I'm happy paying the BookPlayer fellow I'm just wondering about other options for folks I'm trying to get off Audible, so you don't need to remind me to support people)
