That was an interesting read.
If you wanna own your audiobooks you might wanna check out https://libro.fm/ - they allow you to download the bought audiobook without drm.
I gladly accept tips for similar sites when it comes to buying ebooks.

Kobo does drm-free ebooks when the publisher allows it, so it’s on a case-by-case basis but I have got a lot of them drm free
Not the most ethical, but kobo is also very easily de-drm'd with calibre.
Actually no this is not even unethical, I did actually pay for those books.
I bought my first ebook from amazon
Just don't do that. If you give money to this company, they'll continue to go down the path they're on. Enshitification.
That's doable until you need a book that's an Amazon exclusive.

that was such a great read no joke. I love it when people use spite as a motivator.
Spite: The greatest motivator!
