Looking for a way to get audiobooks to listen to. Preferably in a format compatible with Apple Books app.

Once you have your file, use calibre or similar to strip out the DRM and then return the book immediately. Raises the borrowings in the library’s records, showing use, lets someone else borrow the book, and now you don’t have to return your DRM-free copy.
