Audiobookbay has a lot. So does Mobilism. There are private trackers you can look into, but I am not to acquainted with those. Also use Yandex cough for reasons

ill look into Mobilism. Can't get the log in to audiobookbay to work
You don't actually need to log in to download anything. Scroll down on the torrent page to where it says Info Hash. Copy and paste that string of characters into your torrent client where magnet links go and it functions just like a magnet.
Life saver. I had no idea/forgot this was a thing. Thank you
I know this isn't the point of this post but let me just say public library services provide an insane amount of audiobooks and you can find lots around the country to use through apps like Libby, that combined with audible freebie offers. I have been able to get everything I have looked for... Just mentioning
In the same vein as not really piracy but still free audio books. Librivox is a service (with android app) that lets you listen to audio books are that are in the public domain, read by volunteers for free. If you haven't tried the original Sherlock Holmes series by ACD I highly recommend it!
Only one I know of is audiobookbay.se
I second this. Can find pretty much any (English) book I'm looking for on here.
this is the only one I found too, but the log in doesn't work for me
MAM is pretty good, but I find ABT to be a little better.
They do have a slightly annoying "you must read your PMs in order to download" thing so setting up Prowlarr without browsing the site actively is harder.
Can highly recommend myanonamouse. It’s a private tracker and you’ll have to do an interview to join during one of their allotted time slots and show that you’ve read and understand their rules, but their library is unparalleled, well worth the effort if you’re into audiobooks or ebooks!
This is the one. You honestly won't need another.
Thank you. this is on my to-do list now
I quite like https://tokybook.com/
Give it a look and see if anything tickles your fancy
Having a look, thank you!
I don't know if it still works but this tool could get books and download them. I realized I prefer reading books and haven't tried it in a while so no guarantees.
I prefer reading too, but for books that my library doesn't have I have to either read them of my phone or listen to them. Reading off of the phone is a big eye strain for me. I'll give it a try, thank you very much!

I'm new to downloading audiobooks - what apps do people recommend for listing to these on an android?
I use Simple Audiobook Player by mdmt. I like it, because it browses the directory-structure and is pretty minimalistic.
It has two pretty bad shortcomings
- it is not FOSS (one of maybe 3 non-FOSS Apps I use)
- playback speed control is a pro feature.
- can not play .wav
It has a pro version, but never brings it up (no nagging).
