    How was your experience with Librivox? I personally found it a bit lacking in the current affairs department 😉. (Although I found Quartermain highly entertaining)

    Seriously speaking though: I recently purchased the audio book of Picks and Shovels directly from the author. I hope this is the way of the future. I too am dependent on audible and hate every second.

      I listen to a lot of LitRPG and the like, and most (if not all) first release on RoyalRoad and then on Amazon. Amazon pick up those that get traction and release them as audio books on Audible. There are certainly other studios (Soundbooth Theater, Penguin Audio), but some authors give exlusive rights to Amazon, unfortunately.
