Standard Ebooks is seriously impressive. One of my favorite sources of books in the public domain.

I’d also add in addition to this excellent list of DRM-free ebooks, it’s always worth looking into borrowing a book from the library via Libby/Overdrive.

Move away as in find another audiobook vendor? Or simply retain access to your existing collection?

Audiobooks from Audible can be downloaded via the UI. They will have DRM, but it's possible to remove.

If you have audiobook files without DRM you can listen to them via any app that plays audio, but there's also at least one OSS project that aims to fill audiobook UI niche [1].

legal reasons? Seriously, has the DRM mafia cowed people so much? What the hell is wrong with sharing public software tools with others?

Here's one option you might try (no connection to it but it seems to be one of the most recently usable, trustworthy versions) https://github.com/noDRM/DeDRM_tools

Nope. There used to be something, based on this URL I found, but it looks like it has not been maintained for years:

https://www.kobo.com/ww/en/p/drm-free

Your current best bet IMO is just to search for books that have this line on their description page:

https://www.kobo.com/us/en/ebook/shadow-claw

> At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

You could turn that into your search engine filter, i.e.:

https://duckduckgo.com/?q=%22without+Digital+Rights+Manageme...

But admittedly that's not a great way to search.

Your better option is just to make note of some publishers that do not use DRM (like Tor Publishing), and search against them instead.
