Audiobookbay has been excellent for me. Just have to make an account I believe.

Its honestly a coin toss. Great resource for finding books, don't get me wrong, but its hit or miss if the book you want is in the right format for what you're asking.

I've just noticed I created my account 12 years ago this month!

Must've downloaded terabytes over the years. A lot of stuff is on Rapidgator so it's worth having a Realdebrid account

https://abtorrents.me/ if you can get in. Has a decent selection from my experience.

I have also had this issue. Sometimes I have just used Audacity to stitch them all together into one file. Not the most elegant solution but it will get you by if you can't find a single file.

Find a tool to properly convert them to .m4b format. This holds the whole book incl. cover and chapter marks in one single file. You can use HE-AAC or AAC-LC which are both superior to MP3 and result in much smaller files.

noted! thank you!

You can also stitch them with ffmpeg if a CLI is more your speed

Could you recommend a good app for playing these posted audiobooks?

Smart Audiobook Player has been my go-to for a couple years now. Free version is pretty feature complete, good performance too. I'll listen all day at work and still be at like 70-80% battery on my old ass phone, whereas the shitty audible app will leave me at like 40% or less with minimal interaction.

Thanks for the recommendation
