A: First and most importantly: Classic and Chardonnay have the exact same features.
-
Classic is Windows only. Its older 'grey boxes' look has a compact design which allows for more information on the screen. Notably, Classic was written using an older, more mature technology which has built-in support for screenreaders.
-
Chardonnay is available for Windows, Mac, and Linux. Its modern design has a more open look and feel.
A: You can use any app which plays m4b files (or mp3 files if you used that setting). Here are just a few ideas. Disclaimer: I have no affiliation with any of these companies:
- iOS: BookPlayer
- iOS: Bound
- Android: Smart AudioBook Player
- Android: Listen
- Desktop: VLC
- Windows Desktop: Audibly -- a desktop player build specifically for audiobooks
Self-hosting online:
- audiobookshelf. On reddit
- plex. Listen with Prologue (iOS)
A: Like many countries, amazon gives South Africa it's own amazon site. Unlike many other regions there is not South Africa specific audible site. Use US for your region -- ie: audible.com.
