A good place to listen to audio books online?

Anyone know if anything like this?

these two tools apparently let you rip borrowed audiobooks from this service named libby. although i haven't tested them. https://github.com/ping/odmpy https://github.com/bookbonobo/libby-download-extension

also, have you checked the index? stuff like this is usually there.
- They asked for audiobook sites online. They’d have to download for that so that wouldn’t work unfortunately. I saved your comment though because it’s still useful.
Have you checked the piracy mega thread? I think they have a few online audiobook sites listed there but correct me if I’m wrong.

Edit: if you have a library card, you could use Libby for listening to audiobooks for free.
- a library card US library card.
  
  I mean, I’m from Canada, so North American library card?
- I can't seem to get mine to work, the library system doesn't seem to be recognized.
  
  Go ask a librarian what app they use
  
  Like your library doesn’t show up or?
Take a look at the wiki link.

Why not just grab and put them on your phone or host them in a server?
- Whole lot of storage space and a whole lot of work respectively?
  
  You are severely overestimating both in your assumptions.
  
  I think I have like 3,000 audiobooks in .mp3s and it takes hardly 5gb.
  
  Setting up a plex server takes less than 5 minutes and audiobooks are less than 100mb most of the time. So not really. Setting up audiobookshelf takes a bit more time if you don't already have docker installed/setup on windows but even then. An hour maybe? At most?
- It’s for my tech illiterate girlfriend, if there’s more than 2 steps that’s an automatic no from her
  
  Fair enough. I host it myself for my wife.
