Any good suggestions for alternatives to Kindle and Audible? I’m looking at storytel, tolino, libro.fm, and also places like Casa del Libro, wondering if anyone’s used them and if they’re good?

Or another service?

    I think this is worth looking into anyway. One of the things that attracts me to Storytel is the “unlimited” verbiage, i.e. not having to buy each book individually. Nevertheless you’re limited by what they have in their collection. I guess it’s a little extra effort to use a DRM free service and side load them to a device, but the advantages are obvious in terms of the actual ownership of the content.

      Also subscription services typically pay the actual authors only pennies. If you want to support the authors, buy the books or use libraries.
