Not without DRM. It was easier to buy the audiobooks and use the analog loophole to get text. It's probably less accurate, but for what I'm doing it was fine. Names were the worst, but whisper at least made the same mistake each time so a simple search+replace handled most of the obvious edge cases.

Huh, in my experience audiobooks are more expensive and/or harder to find than ebooks. Out of curiosity, can you give an example of one such audiobook you transcribed?

If you are going to be illegal, you might as well use library genesis and get DRM free ebooks :)
