    There’s also LibriVox for audiobooks of public domain books read by volunteers. They vary in quality but some of my favourite audiobooks are from there.

        Public domain audiobooks, read by members of the community. It’s a beautiful thing - which is why AI scrapers seem currently determined to tear it down.

        What @Endymion_Mallorn@kbin.melroy.org said seems to be correct, they apparently have some problems right now, I can’t reach the website. It worked yesterday, when I posted the link. I’ll try again later to link some I like, I hope they are able to resolve the problems soon.

          Having looked at the forum, they seem to be under attack by a swarm of AI scrapers. If anyone can help them defend against the attack, please do so.

              Sadly, yeah. Unfortunately, I’m not really capable of sounding the alarm, and whoever runs the Xwitter page for Librivox have not posted anything in over a year. They should be crying out for aid, but there’s crickets in the public eye.

      It was down at the moment I posted, I didn’t want to push more traffic until they were back online.
