    If you live in the states, Libby is a lifesaver. It’s an online audiobook thing for libraries. You can use your library card to check out audiobooks through the app. And if you’re unable to use Libby for some reason, I’ve heard mobilism has a lot of audiobooks for free

      Yes. I tell anyone I can at work about the public library and how you can use Libby or Hoopla to get free books. Some audio books for those not wanting to read. It is a great asset.

        Yarrr, I mean really not, but it’s free

        Whoops that’s just an interview with the author, though may be useful to some, I shall keep looking.

        Audiobooks.com has a 30 day free trial, and this is one of the books they have, but still not good enough…

        Bookey.com also has a free trial and this audiobook. I’m failing here as a pirate. Unfortunately, I haven’t pirated any audiobooks so I don’t know where to look

            Will give a look tonight, my laptop died but I have a rpi4 running that might be enough to sail the high seas again for this old sailor. It’s been a looooong time since but I will find my path once again.

                I run the pie with a Kingston 100Gig ssd with a usb adaptor.

                I used to be torrenting all the time and can adapt to new software and techniques easily. I also played with tech all my life from basic electronics, computers hardware and software etc… Lately I kind of don’t watch movies and have Tidal for music so I just don’t use PC’s much other than playing YouTube on my TV before bed.

            Which archive? I haven’t really sailed the high seas the last decade. Most of the stuff I want is old games and I can find those easily
