What's a good source for DRM-free audiobooks? I'd love to ditch Audible and move to something like this, but I haven't found a store that has a good selection.

(Edit: thank you, everybody, for the great answers!!!)

You can strip the DRM from audible books and create mp4s using ffmpeg.

Although, given Amazon’s recent efforts with the kindle, I’m going to say they will probably remove the ability to download books soon

You can quite easily flash you Kindle with new firmware that is more forgiving and abled.

What's been going on with the kindle? Would be interested in reading more about this.
