I happily pay for Audible. It is probably the one Amazon service I truly appreciate. That said I think I should have the right to archive the library DRM free given that I have already paid for it. I don’t think this should be considered piracy at all.
If you want to pay for audiobooks, Libro.FM is a DRM free alternative that allows you to easily download your books without any issues that Libation solves for. It also supports local bookstores in your community while not giving more to Amazon. Only a handful of books aren’t available on Libro but it’s been a seamless transition for us. It’s only going to be difficult if you’re one of those folks who returns/refunds audible credits regularly as it’s not easy to do with Libro.
I doubt they really care, there’s still a way (to my knowledge) to download audiobooks from audible to mp3. You have to dig a bit to find the option from what i remember. This just makes it easier and in chapterized .m4b goodness.
If anyone is into selfhosting things I recommend audiobookshelf if you want to self host and stream audiobooks. Such a cool project!
I use Libby to get audiobooks from my library for free.
Removing DRM and archiving is perfectly legal here in Estonia, only thing that counts as piracy here is distributing copyrighted materials without a license. I’m pretty sure it’s not in the US but check your local laws.
Removing DRM and archiving are also legal in the US but it doesn’t stop the megacorps from getting your internet cut off and suing you into poverty if they find out.
I’ve definitely spent way too much and own way too many books, but I’d be nervous that they’re going to ban me if I tried to archive my however many hundred books on there.
They should absolutely be required to outright allow it though.

it just downloads your books, to them it looks like you download it to listen to it. they are it going to suspend your account
OpenAudible. I strip the DRM from all of my Audible audiobooks and archive them.
There’s a free way to do it using rainbowcrack but OA is simpler.
