Re: FYI: DRM is Evil. Very, Very, Very Evil
I understand that Audible talking books are in mp3 format, they just have a DRM wrapper around them.
Before I'd be willing to use Audible, I'd first make sure I had a way to remove the DRM from my purchased books just as I did with my Kindle books. I'd also create a new email address that just forwards everything to my primary email account and use that for Audible. That would make the Amazon and Audible accounts separate.
But at $15 per book, I doubt I'd even bother because most Audible book show up on BARD in a couple of or less.
BARD is a web site provided by the National Library Service that provides free downloadable brail and talking books for people who are registered as legally blind.
For examble, "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" was released as a talking book on Audible on December 18th, it was added to BARD a week or two ago and it was the exact same recording Audible was selling. The same thing happened with the last b ook of Robert Jordan's "Wheel of Time" series.
