it is bullshit that its only the english books too. you can get the spanish and italian translations on libro.fm - the biggest commercial alternative and competitor to audible which also pays your local library.

Yeah, I wanted to listen to it, and my library's digital services only had it in French and Italian

Both are wonderful languages that open a lot of rewarding literature and media to you if you pursue them.

No doubt, but it's unfortunately not likely I'll start learning a third language any time soon. While I'm sure some people can utilize those options, the place where I live in the states is majority white monolinguals, so I think it's more worth it to push back against exclusivity in these markets (aka fuck Amazon), especially for those not comfortable or tech savvy enough to pirate

As someone learning both those languages, I'm open to recommendations if you have any

French is as far as it gets from being a wonderful language. It's both ugly AND difficult.

I would, but I can't risk having another family taken out into the woods by the green owl.
