lol - thanks for the props! They have actually been doing this (badly) for years, focused on keeping Kindle readers locked in (ioho). 💜

Thank you! We hope you enjoy. 💜
Awww, thank you! Just another reminder that we have the loveliest community of listeners. 💜
Thanks. We hear you! 💜
We are delighted to hear it. 🥹
Thanks for the mention - and please let us know how we can help, or what else you’d like to see - books or features! 💜
Ah, it’s always the way. No worries - happy it’s solved. Enjoy! 🫶
Hiya - Sorry for the trouble! I don’t think it’s us…please can you restart the app then maybe restart your phone? Let us know if it’s still not working. We appreciate your patience. 💜
Can’t wait to listen! 💜
Woohoo! Amazing achievement. 🙌Thanks for your support! 💜
Kobo and particularly @xigxaguk.bsky.social is the way to go. Their x books work pretty well so you really can get a lot of reading and listening done with an ethical company.
I use Amazon more than I'd like, so I was pretty chuffed to get a Kobo reader for xmas. Now it's ebooks from them (and hopefully via @bookshop.org in future) and audiobooks from @xigxaguk.bsky.social hurrah.
Ooh, yes we can recommend a few more on this theme, including Moneyland & Butler to the World by @oliverbullough.bsky.social, plus a new one publishing in Jan: xigxag.co.uk/audiobook/ev...
Just a reminder that we have the best customers! 💜🤩
I don't know who needs this but if you listen to audio books then check out xigxag, a UK alternative to feeding the tech billionaire overlords.
Complete purchases through the website rather than the app as their fees are 3-4x less. You can still listen through the app though

Oooh, we can’t wait to have a listen. Thanks for the mention! 💜
Love this! Thank you! 💜

"How to Defeat the Far Right" is available as an X-book on XigXag, so you get the audio book & access to the text too so you can copy quotes.
No subscription fees, either. You just buy the books you want.
A very useful service.

Hi 👋 hope you don’t mind us jumping in here. We’re xigxag, the UK’s indie Audiobook alternative. We allow customers to buy audiobooks at reasonable prices without a subscription - without doling out free books to attract new users. We support real human narrators 💜 not AI voice 🤖
Welcome! 💜
Thanks, Tim! We have the best customers! 💜
Buying on our website also saves us a rather egregious big tech transaction tax on every purchase, helping us maintain the best prices in the market - no subscription required! 🙌
Thanks for the rec! We’ll get listening…

I'm loving @xigxaguk.bsky.social for #audiobooks, the player is amazing and it doesn't give Bezos any money! A B corp even. I assume (correct me if I'm wrong) but the author is also better treated and rewarded
