Well, I am open-minded for alternatives here that are European-based and have a similar offer like Audible or Thalia. As for Thalia, you may be right but Weltbild dismanteld itself more than a decade ago forgetting to move with the times (I loved the stores) and Mayersche - well, I know people that also said they "destroyed the small bookstores". Depends on your own opinion though. So if you know any real alternative with European background where I can buy (German( audiobooks on a similar subscription-basis - give it to me! 🙂

Went with Thalia here in Germany (still less books than Audible) and used OoenAudible to convert all my books to .M4B-files and also all MP3-files from Thalia into the same file type as well.
Deployed an own instance of Audiobookshelf then and bought the plappa-app on iOS to stream or download the books, also having CarPlay-support here.
A little bit complicated but the result is worth it - and new books are bought on Thalia from now on. Works for me and my use case!
Pro‘s everywhere. A masterclass of its own. 🤷🏼♂️
They asked 1000 people - not that representative and most of the German don‘t want a return to the 60s or 70s - at least no people voting for the backward-looking CDU or the Neo-Nazis AfD. And well - Southern and Eastern Germany. No miracle, unfortunately. 🤷🏼♂️
In the Orange Goblin‘s world, why should criminals be prosecuted or sentenced instead of being pardoned? He should better deal with the mess he is creating at home and manage his own affairs.
Just delete the crap finally.
Well, why should Agent Krasnov put tariffs on the hand that feeds him, good old Vlad? 🤷🏼♂️
Silly move - hailing from Finland was a big plus and I already considered going with Suunto with my next watch. As I am fine with the manufacturing process, storing user data outside of Europe isn't something that is a plus aspect against Garmin... So there is just Polar left? 😩
Still missing the brand that I once used before the iPhone… the Pearl was a legend once and pairing the keyboard with a device supporting GrapheneOS or similar would be great!
The typical jabbering of Michail Kretschmer, one of Putin‘s most loyal trojan horses in German politics. A well-known sycophant.

Should I be worried using Threema and having recently migrated to Proton? This world is dismantling so fast we all can‘t catch up… 🫤

Thanks for the update - Onleihe may be an alternative, BookBeat looks nice and libro.fm could be an alternative for English-only books. Must fit to my workflow (buying the books and putting them into Audiobookshelf) but I'll check this out. 👍🏻
