If you are downloading the books from your library in Overdrive, its very simple to copy them for later listening pleasure <3

1. Open a window to the downloaded files:

C:\Users\{YOUR USER PROFILE NAME}\Documents\My Media\MP3 Audiobooks

2. Open a window to the location where you store your books:

F:\~AUDIOBOOKS TRANSFER

3. While you have your Overdrive app open, copy the books from 1 to 2.  Then delete the WAX file from your copy.  Once you have the copy made and the WAX file removed, then delete the file from your Overdrive app.  The file will be removed from your "Documents\My Media\MP3 Audiobooks" but the copy will remain.

Test your copy and you should be good to go!   Cheesy

Additional information from justme

Re: Remove DRM and download from Hoopla and Overdrive
 
I've never had to go through all that.

What I did is go to the Windows Store, download the Overdrive Console which transfers the mp3 directly into Your Documents when you download from your Overdrive site.  No DRM.

Pull up Documents as described or you may have, like me, a documents desktop icon.

I just than pull the book out of Documents because it is now yours to chapter, upload or do what I want with it.  If I need I can download a new copy into MyMedia.

No need to do anything in you Overdrive App. because no one sees what's in it but you and the book will expire.  To clean out the expired books just pull it up on its own..

If you don't have the app., these may help

https://app.overdrive.com/

The Overdrive application in InAudible is for chaptering an Overdrive download.

The only thing I have found for Hoople is a Firefox add-on/extension called Video Download helper.  It's icon is three colored balls. Each track has to be played separately, Right click the icon and click on the download arrow...but notice you get an mp4 video file that that would have to be converted to mp3 or m4b and I haven't tried to convert......J

I am in Indiana USA and this is what works here.
