It'd be a decent idea to xpost this to !Lemmy.dbzer0.com/c/piracy
Folks there usually have good resources for ebook and audiobook piracy, there's been a couple posts this month about it.
Good idea - how do I crosspost lmao
It's the button under your post title that looks like 2 squares overlapping if you're on the default lemmy UI, otherwise ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Done, thank you!
I use Audiobook Shelf for hosting and listening to books, it's a nice piece of software.

It's not a source of books itself, just the software.
I’ve been meaning to look into Audiobook Shelf! Do you happen to know if it can be integrated with a TTS provider to narrate your ebooks, or does it only support listening to audiobooks you’ve uploaded?
Not sure if it does TTS for ebooks. I usually just uploaded to Google Play Books and use it's TTS.
I use voice dream reader to read ebooks to me. The quality isn't up to professional human readers but it's better than librivox IMO. I paid $5 for one of their premium voices (Peter AKA peetah) and never regretted it. The app will read any ebook you upload to it. Not sure if it's available on android.
The library
There’s probably some ai out there that can read your ebooks out loud
If they’re books that have an existing audiobook version I can’t recommend the mya tracker enough. They’re nice and helpful and it’s no problem to seed up a good ratio with minuscule audiobook files.
An app called Readest
