Switched from audible to libro.fm and Thalia.de . Yes libro is still US but you can select a local book shop that gets a share of your subscription.
The crazy part is, in both cases you actually download mp3 or even m4b files that you can save on YOUR system.
If you are willing to selfhost, you should look into audiobookshelf. Abs is a streaming server for audiobooks. It for example allows multiple people to use the same library and have their individual listening progress saved. And you can actually stream your books and don’t have to download them if you don’t want to.
In short: it’s a much nicer listening experience than audible ever was, especially if you shared your account with someone else.
Since Thalia tried to squeeze small bookstores out of business and other unfair behaviour I’m boycotting them. See https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thalia_Bücher
To be fair, there are probably not many alternatives to audio books.
