Here in Canada, a "tax" was imposed on blank recordable DVDs

A dilema for Audible users.. once they cancel the service, all  
their "purchases" disappear.

But libro.fm is different:

[1] All content is DRM-less.
[2] You can pause a monthly subscription and resume later.
[3] Your purchases are yours after download, even after  
cancellation.

See https://libro.fm/ashlies    ;)
