Used to use ElevenReader to upload ebook files and listen to them for free - it was too good to be true, and as of today they are now limiting monthly listening time.

Ironically, the last book I listened to with it was The Dubious Battle, which was based on a user's recommendation from this site! I enjoyed it a lot and am planning on getting through more of Steinbeck's work.

Libby is great but I don't need the feds looking at what I'm listening to.

Suggestions welcome! I wo

Suggestions welcome! I would cruise through a few books a month this way and want to keep up the momentum
