Google audiobooks DRM-free?
I never realized this! It's possible that it's a recent addition or I just never knew. The Digital Reader educated me, based on a post from Cory Doctorow's Boing Boing.

Quote:
You can find the download option in the audiobooks tab in the "My Books" section of the Google Play website.

Simply click the 3-dot menu icon for a given ebook, and then select the export option.
Not all books are DRM-free, however. You'll have to look at each book, click the "details" section, and look for the "export option" as available or not available.

I tested it out, and for at least the one I tested I got a 64 bps m4a file. This is good news to me, though not a perfect option. I might actually have to start checking out Google's sales in the future.

Enjoy!
