Pros

- Downpour.com also does DRM-free downloads; it's the store front for Blackstone Publishing.
- Downpour.com has the same options (mp3 & m4b) as Libro.fm. Both sites are DRM free (meaning no special software is needed to "convert" them to these formats).
- Downpour.com sells title as digital downloads, MP3 CDs **and** traditional CDs. Downpour allows you to search by format (among other criteria), so if you search by author, title (or even just leave the search field blank), you can then...

Cons
- You can get MP3 audiobooks from Libro fm and Downpour

Downpour.com sells title as digital downloads, MP3 CDs **and** traditional CDs. Downpour allows you to search by format (among other criteria), so if you search by author, title (or even just leave the search field blank), you can then scroll down on the left side, you can check "CD" in the format category to at least see what titles are available.
Downpour.com should be added as an alternative. It’s mostly drm free downloads. Can buy ala carte or a subscription similar to Audible. Not as extensive a library as Audible or Libro (based on my author test searches) but it would be satisfactory for many.

Libro.fm and Downpour.com, both give you full access to your books.
Downpour, for example, sells mp3 and m4b books.
