If your library has hoopla they have a decent selection of audiobooks (also comics). You can read them on demand but you can only read a certain amount a month.

I recommend Libby, not hoopla, seeing if your library has an interlibary loan system, the books unbanned project and Libro.FM. Does the same thing as Amazon but supports publishing companies and proceeds go directly to local book shops/libraries

Not sure. Audio books are hard to get a hold of. I ended up just getting audible premium

I used to buy them off Kobo, but honestly it’s just worth spending 15 bucks for one month and canceling it so you can read the books you want

if you have Spotify premium there’s a good collection of audiobooks you can listen to with your subscription! u can also add more library cards to your Libby in hopes of getting thru holds faster. there’s a few counties you can find online that offer a card for free
