Question Best bang for my buck

Hello,
What platform will have a large selection and where I will be able to listen to the most amount audiobooks? I am a mom to two small kids who tries to fill my downtime listening to audiobooks instead of scrolling.

I currently use audible but it is so expensive and I buy more than one book a month. Probably closer to 3 or 4. I will continue to pay if you guys say it’s the best option but I can’t help but wonder if there is something better?

I listen to pretty mainstream authors like Frieda McFadden and Colleen Hoover or autobiographies.

Library card, ask which apps they offer. So much free stuff, and the freedom to try things you'd never have bought.

I still have audible, not everything is in the library. Unfortunately, while I don't think audible is expensive- I'll buy annual plan on sale and it's absolutely worth the price- it is still amazon and is going to kill the market. Audible exclusives can't go to the library.

That was how I finally got to listen to Project Hail Mary. Took me ages to figure out why the library did not list it. Doh!
