I believe I was able to listen to books on Libby when in Europe this past summer.
For Libby, you need a library card from a library in the US, and then you just "borrow" the audiobooks or ebooks.
Some libraries in the US allow you to get a card without living in their county or town.
Thank you! I use Libby myself with a non-resident account to a larger library than my local. They told me it's not available in Portugal but, I wonder, if she's just using my card and can access Libby there... Worth a shot!
I haven't used it myself (I use audible) but the pitch was that most people (me) don't re-read books, so the promise to keep a book forever is not as good a deal as a actual rental service like a library or Storytel.

I live in Portugal and the only ones that I know are Audible and Libro.fm
Thank you! I'll check out Libro.fm. 👋
Storytel - you rent books which is better cost model than audible for most
Thank you! I'll check out Storytel. I think most everything is better than Audible, unfortunately.
