This is where I've ended up apart from the articles I read and the very very occasional ebook. The only issue I have is sometimes I can't handle the narrators style or voice and so I can't get into the book, even if I really want to.

Also if the book is set in Sydney, Australia maybe hire a local of the country to narrate it Amazon. FFS who wants to listen to a yank narrating an Australian character.

Where do you get audiobooks? I've only once tried to listen to an audiobook since giving up on Audible (because Amazon is fucking evil, and somehow Audible manages to add on its own layer of evil on top of that of its parent company), and I ended up with a copy that seemed to just randomly skip large parts of the text. Not an abridged copy, it would just skip paragraphs at a time, with no way to keep up on the story. That was a copy through my library.
