“Amazon owns #Audible, the… audiobook platform that controls >90% of the audio market. They require mandatory #DRM for every book sold, locking those books forever to Amazon’s…platform. If you break up with Amazon, you have to throw away your entire audiobook library. That's a…lot of leverage to hand to…a rapacious monopoly…" | Cory Doctorow, nostr:npub1hykucplphuhelaxutcw4jw3vuu7gcg42czhqmk7jhchs8vdga4fsj73p33 https://pluralistic.net/2023/07/31/seize-the-means-of-computation/ #DRM #DigitalRightsManagement

According to Audible, the only audible books you would lose by deleting your Amazon membership are those that you bought as "add-ons" to books you purchased. If you bought them individually from Audible, they will always be available for download regardless of whether or not you have an Amazon account
