So if you download your purchased audio books from audible and convert them to mp3, what app do you then use to listen to them, so that you can bookmark where you were and maybe put a sleep timer on? #FDroid #audiobooks

@leanderlindahl When I switched to #eos, I started using AntennaPod for podcasts. It seems you can select local folders, so it may be useful for audiobooks as well.

@hagen_schink same here, also switched to AntennaPod when I went /e/OS 🙂
Great that you can use AntennaPod for this as an alternative,, but once you see Voice (that @quinze @Bright5park were kind enough to tell me about) your jaw drops. It looks "insanely great" for this use case.

@artfors yes, I just discovered it. It looks super slick and well crafted.

@leanderlindahl I'm also in the process to move over to audiobookshelf https://audiobookshelf.org and then I'm moving over to the app Lissen https://github.com/GrakovNe/lissen-android/

@artfors yes I guess maybe that's the next level. I usually find it a hassle to setup an run servers. But maybe once I have all my audiobooks, I'll want to try it.
I installed lissen once without understanding exactly what it does, but couldn't bring myself to delete it because the icon is so pretty 🙂
