At long last, you will soon be able to listen to Dungeon Crawler Carl (and the many sequels) from your library. Libby struck a deal with author Matt Dinniman to make Libby the exclusive distributor of the wildly popular series, after years of being an Audible exclusive.
Like so much of the Dungeon Crawler Carl story, Dinniman’s personal control over the audio rights is unusual. When he was first approached by Ace Books to publish his increasingly popular web serial, he chose to retain digital rights (after all, he already had hundreds of thousands of internet readers).
Terms of the deal were not disclosed, and it is likely Dinniman is going to be making less from his Audible sales, as Audible generally gives you a better revenue split if you are exclusive to their platform. But making his audiobooks available through libraries opens up a huge new pool of readers. There are millions of copies of the Dungeon Crawler Carl series in print, and more than three million audiobook sales. There is no date for when they will be available to library patrons on the official announcement, so go check and if you can grab it (or more likely join the hold line) now.
