Hmmm, I didn't even realize they have any DRM'd titles now. One of their big selling points when they started was that their downloads were simple MP3's/M4b's.


Searching their support stuff for DRM yields two entries...

How many computers and devices can each purchase be used on?
Our audiobook content is currently DRM (Digital Rights Management) free! This means you are allowed an unhindered experience with the audiobooks you have purchased. You may play your purchased audiobooks on any number of computers and/or popular mobile devices that you own.

What is DRM?
DRM (Digital Rights Management) is a copyright protection for digital media. While much of Downpour’s content is DRM free, and allows for usage across platforms, select products on Downpour are required by publishers to have DRM protected files. These products will be playable exclusively on the Downpour.com apps, available for iOS and Android devices.

Checking my library I don't see any I can't download DRM-free to test this, but it might be possible to find the book files on an Android device and add a .mp3 extension to them and play them as that has been the extent to some apps "DRM" in the past, but if the files are encrypted somehow I know of no method to "handle" that.
