This is the first version of this guide, so please share any feedback, and I'll include it in the next version.

Note: I include the services that directly support local libraries and/or are non-profit organizations

Would be nice if the alternatives to US software weren't other US software. 3 of your proposals are still US based.

You could instead have included Xigxag: UK-based, no monthly fee audiobook library, and BookBeat, Sweden based.

Xigxag is mentioned, but you're right that I forgot to include BookBeat. The others are US based apps but support your local library/bookstore
