Libro.fm VS TuneIn Radio

Hi! My kids were just listening to the first chapter of A Christmas Carol offered on 24 Days of Yoto. Are they seriously not offering the rest of this as a digital download? Please tell me I'm missing it. The processing/shipping time of physical cards is not awesome to my city (like weeks) so for seasonal things like this it doesn't make sense for us unless I plan way ahead.

Failing that, I mostly get things from my local library (via Libby). Conveniently, those all have weak DRM, so one could still build a personal library that way. - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago

A slight quibble: > They require mandatory DRM for every book sold, locking those books forever to Amazon's monopoly platform. If you break up with Amazon, you have to throw away your entire audiobook library.
