      So I was looking at the series page on the JNC website and noticed that there’s has print and future print filters and that got me thinking that given the number of JNC series that are getting audio adaptations, it would be nice at some point to be able to filter series by what has an audiobook version.

      “There’s always a story. It’s all stories, really. The sun coming up every day is a story. Everything’s got a story in it. Change the story, change the world.” ― Terry Pratchett, A Hat Full of Sky

        That sounds like a good idea. I would like a way to keep track of the audiobooks.

          @Lily-Garden I'll concern that. Also, I would like to see that as well. I would like to add that there probably should be deep links to the external publishers as well. If it is possible, might could add to the release calendar as well, or even perhaps the REST API that ChocolatKey maintains (probably excessive on the latter).

          As a separate note, I like the premium ebooks provided on the website: if licensing allows, I would like to eventually see DRM-free mp3 or ogg format audiobooks.

            Some of the audiobooks are already available DRM free, it just depends on which store you buy them from (which of course is impacted by which company is producing the audiobook as I believe at least one company JNC is partnered with only releases their audiobooks on Audible). Slayers is available on Downpour and Libro.fm, DRM free audiobook platforms, so I'd expect the other JNC direct productions to go there, and it seems all the ones produced by Tantor Media are there too. Not sure on the format options available there though.
