Bonus: How to Decrypt Audible Books
Audiobooks have so many advantages. Like, listening to books is a productive way to pass time and make life more enjoyable. However, Audible Audiobooks distributed by Audible.com are DRM protected AA/AAX files which can be only played on Audible itself, or on specific apps authorized by your Audible account, which makes it so inconvenient to play them on any device anytime you want. Even though you have purchased the Audible books, it doesn't mean they are totally owned by you. Due to the DRM protection, you only have the right to listen to the purchased book, but you can’t have the Audible books at your disposal. So in order to make full use of your purchased Audible books, you should get rid of DRM and back them up. And here's the tutorial guide about how to decrypt Audible books.
Conclusion
Whatever your preference, the top 50 Audible’s best-seller list so far should help you choose your next download… We hope you love what you hear.
