We may get lucky and it may end up being like Audiobooks.com where the files are MP3's when downloaded to the Android app and can at least be had that way. I know I'll probably do the free book at least and try and see if this works. Not ideal, but better than nothing.
Yeah, I had enough trouble with audiobooks.com, but at least it was possible to retrieve the files. To my mind, it's okay to enforce the use of an app for a borrowed book (e.g., Hoopla), but not for a purchase--not worth the meager savings of, what, a buck less than Downpour and three bucks less than Audible.
