    Hello, is there any website with audiobooks novels?
    At first, I listened to YT and text-reading programs, but this is inconvenient ...

    none for free if that is what you are asking. at least I know of none compared to plenty sites where you can read

    and text-to-speech are all trash unless you pay for it. My advice is to just time manage.

    Audible and similar do have some good ones you can listen to, if you really need sth to listen to, be it a novel or factual/scientific books. I have seen a lot of audible and blinklist ads

    Free for all but only has public domain titles. https://librivox.org/

    For your more popular stuff you can use your library. If it's well-funded it will have a subscription to Overdrive / Libby (https://www.overdrive.com/) or Hoopla. There are plenty of audiobooks, ebooks and videos. You should be able to access them from your computer or phone if you have the app. If you don't want to install any apps you can also read/listen through your browser.

    Kindle books sometimes also have free audio narration that are oftentimes very good.

    Chat with your library for your credentials. They can walk you through it.

    Yep, it really depends on what kind of books OP wants. For me I have the LibriVox app for older books but I also have Kobo beacuse there are some selections that I want :)

    I still think Audible is the best one which owns the largest library of audiobooks. But there is a thing that I feel inconvenient is the AA/AAX format. I have to convert the audiobooks to MP3 (I use TunesKit Audible AA/AAX Converter)every time to play on my smartwatch to play them during running.
