every website i’ve found only has individual chapter downloads for chapters. i would like a single download for a full book. still new to piracy, i just got a vpn recently so very new. any recommendations are welcomed.

    there are just as many audiobook releases done as individual chapter files as there are in chaptered m4b files. any good audiobook player should handle either just fine.

    I get most of my audiobooks from soulseek at the moment, but there are a few things that are pulled from Usenet and ABB

    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

    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.

      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.
