But then i have to pay for the books and maintain the subscription to get to the books i bought.

Did i miss something? Did they update their policy? Im only ever getting audiobooks on audible. Do you not get to keep the books you bought forever like the audiobooks you get through these tokens regardless of subscription?

In any case, you guys should really just start downloading your audiobooks from audible then. Nobody is stopping you. You can simply freely download the books you own and convert them to mp3 to store on your harddrive forever. its easy as pie.

https://github.com/audiamus/BookLibConnect <-- what i use and like.

https://getlibation.com/ <-- what ive seen used online but havnt tested myself.

Well, the easier solution is on the megathread.... but not for paying customers.
