With #CarelessPeople, the book from former Meta staff member Sarah Wynn-Williams, I searched for a platform that's less evil than Amazon's Audible.

And I think I found one! It's Libro.fm.

"Libro.fm is an employee-owned Social Purpose Corporation that shares profits from your audiobook purchases with your chosen bookstore, giving you the power to keep money within your local economy."

Best: Books are #drmfree and I now support a trans bookshop in Berlin.

Libro.fmBuy audiobooks & support local bookstoresLibro.fm makes it possible for you to buy audiobooks directly through local bookstores.

m4b-tool is a great tool - weird that it's nix or docker (dependency hell with audio libraries, I blame the libraries) but amazing that it;

1) works
2) has smart defaults

I legally own an an unencrypted audiobook copy of Tress of the Emerald Sea as an m4b and one of my kids is old enough for it but his player only does mp3s - this makes easy work of splitting to mp3s =)

It's often overshadowed by GOG because of its easily-confused name (and GOG is just much bigger) but ZOOM Platform is a solid, DRM-free games distributor that has quite a few old school titles, some of which GOG doesn't have.

Worth a look if you can't find a specific retro title on GOG!

zoom-platform.com/

ZOOM PlatformZOOM Platform - DRM-free Games. Retro re-releases and more!Always DRM-free. Your one stop shop for Windows, Mac and Linux gaming. Exclusive bonus content. Home of retro classics like Duke Nukem and MegaRace.

Is there somewhere to buy ebooks that supports local book stores? I buy print books from Bookshop.org and my audiobooks from Libro.fm, but don't know where to go for ebooks. I'd like it to be DRM-free so I don't lose it when I'm on "unsupported devices".

El tema del DRM en los videojuegos siempre es polémico. Hay tiendas como GOG que vende los juegos sin estas "protecciones".

En otras tiendas es opcional, como en Steam. Aquí hay una buena lista de juegos sin DRM de esta plataforma:

Como podéis ver Cyberpunk no tiene DRM en steam y vendió la friolera de 30 millones de copias.

¿Demuestra este y otros muchos casos que el DRM entre otras cosas es inútil?
