This is an Audible audio book player for people with limited technical knowledge.

Audible Player

The intention of this project is to offer old people a possibility to listen to audio books (currently via Audible Online Player and downloaded Audible mp3 files). I made a box for my half blind 98 years old grandmother.

Basically this uses a raspberry pi 3 B+ with some buttons, an RFID Reader and Chromium in the background to serve books in an easy to use way (without any screen or touch and other modern nonsense (: ).

Idea based on the BookPlayer from wkjagt (Thanks for the awesome idea!). For offline use I recommend the open source Audible manager openaudible.

By the way: I'm not associated with any of the proprietary softwares or companies used or named.

Documentation

At the moment there is just the code. Later I will provide a step by step guide to build such a box on a website which you can access from this readme. Also there will be more code documentation.
