Hey, remember that there's libro.fm as a good alternative to audible! It can even support your local bookstores. (libro.fm)

Awesome things about libro that I like

No DRM. You can download the books as you please and store them outside the app!
Credits don't expire, and can be gifted.
You can support your local bookstore if they are on the app.
There's also occasional free audiobooks that the libro.fm drops. For Juneteenth there was a few that they gave out for free.

What country if you don't mind me asking? I know libro is trying to expand outside the US, but unsure what their coverage is. I do know some ebook/audiobook services in different countries around the world

Not at all! I am in Serbia currently.

The tricky bit is - I am not Serbian myself and would prefer to read mostly in English (it would be great if the service had books/audiobooks in other languages, too, but English is my primary focus for now).

Bookmate.com might be your best bet, alongside potentially buying a digital library card from places that allow out of state card purchases. I know Fairfax Virginia allows it for a yearly fee.

Huh, I didn't know that there is an option to purchase a digital library card, will be looking into that and bookmate. Thanks!
