I listen to hundreds of audiobooks and I've literally never been unable to find an audiobook I wanted to pirate. Audiobook/eBook piracy is huge.
Where do you go for audiobooks? What player(s) do you use?
Money is getting tight with some life changes and don't know that I can afford to stick with my audible subscription.
Audiobookbay, and Smart Audiobook Player my friend.
I use audibookbay to download, and AudiobookShelf to listen. It's an awesome combination for DRM free audiobooks
MyAnonaMouse (mam) is a private tracker. You have to wait for very new popular titles but it's gotten the job done for me.
If my private trackers don't have what I'm looking for, DHT search engines like btdig always have my back when it comes to audiobooks.
Mobilism dot org has been supplying me with audiobooks for over a decade

Y'all ever hear of Libby app? It's like piracy with fewer steps.
Love Libby, but my small town library has limited inventory. Is there a virtual library I can get a card for with a larger inventory?
I too want to know. Sometimes I find a book, but it isn't available.
I believe there do exist places where you can get a virtual library card without living there. New York Public Library is what comes to mind, but don't quote me on that.
That's only for New York residents, unless you're a teen looking to read banned books this year in particular.
Ah shoot, I don't know then. I thought there was something but maybe it's some sort of policy that limits cardholders to just residents.
Unless the policy changed recently: Brooklyn doesn't require a NY address. I had a Brooklyn card for years, but have never lived in NY. It was about $50 a year.
Need to verify a NYC address for this one
I'm pretty sure the state of Kentucky will let anyone get a card.

I like to add a step back in, where I rip the audiobook and then return the rental to the library. Others get to listen, and I have a copy for whenever I actually get around to listening to it :-)
How does one rip from Libby? The analog hole?
It’s gotten harder lately, the old app would just straight let you download mp3 files by chapter. It’s a bit more complicated now.
I believe this is what I used last time. https://github.com/chbrown/overdrive
What books are you trying to find that aren't on audio book bay?
Pretty much every book is available the day of release. Not sure what you’re talking about.
ok sir, you don't have the right to remain silent. lemmy see the websites you use
audiobookbay
Also, there are a few places where you can stream them rather than downloading audio books, if you prefer.

If it's available digitally from one of the many libraries I belong to, that's easier. I prefer it to Audible even.
-
If not available by library, I can't recall the last time I wasn't able to find it through some alternative means.
Insert Pirates of the Caribbean meme about being, without doubt, the worst pirate I've ever seen.
Imagine somebody gamified it like people gamify seeding lol.
