The only possible exception for me will be if OverDrive locks down their audiobooks so they're app-only, as OD is how I stock my waterproof MP3 player in the summer. In that case, I'll look to Downpour.

I miss the Audible subscription a little bit, for books that are unavailable at my libraries. I've totally lost track of which sites have a straightforward mp3 download, and which ones would try to make me use their app or jump through hoops for a purchased book. I was thinking that maybe I'll rejoin Audible if there's a good Prime Day offer, but then I remembered that I canceled Prime!
(I did get my preorder with no problem after canceling Audible.)
