Toot

My favorite company to work with regarding media is by far Libro.fm.

In the evenings, my wife and I have been spending months ripping DVDs, and that's a huge pain in the butt, with figuring out which episode is which, renaming, re-encoding, etc.

All of this because the big companies won't offer DRM-free downloadable copies, even if you'd be more than happy to pay them.

With Libro.fm and audiobooks, I just buy the book and they offer me a way to download the files immediately. It means I can just buy my books quickly, drop them on a local folder, and I'm done.

I wish I could do that with TV, but at least with Libro.fm, I have a happy life around audiobooks. :)

@Nyme

I used Audible for a long time and had to un-DRM a bunch (~80) books. I much prefer to give my money to Libro.fm, which not only offers exclusively DRM-free books, but you can choose a physical bookstore and they'll donate part of the profits to that bookstore.

When I was in Washington, DC there was a bookstore called Reiters Books that had scientific and academic books no one else would carry, the kind of books that Amazon says they have 2 copies of, cost $120 each and will be a special order. I haven't been to Reiters in years (and I don't know if they're still as awesome as they were) but through Libro.fm, I support them.
