So... What would be a good way to download and listen to this on Android?

Smartaudiobook player is brilliant, free, and will remember your place in the story. To download, choose 'desktop mode' in your android browser then click where it says '310 files' to download it all in one go. Took me 30-45 minutes, it's about 1.3Gb in size.

+1 Smart audiobook. I paid for mine to get the extra options and ad free experience. Totally worth. The best audiobook player out there.

Just started downloading following your instructions.

Just press download, unzip and listen to it on VLC (available on F-Droid)

Yeah how do you do that. Also I don't want to be downloading malware or such. anyway to scan for malicious content

If you're using your phone, scroll down to download options and choose whichever you like. You could run it through VirusTotal or some other service if you like, but I trust Internet Archive and my device is still fine!

Yeah my phone just doesn't like it. Shame I'd like to get google to read me the book. I've read it before. Fantastic read. Highly recommend it to everyone.

Are you a dolphin offering me free screensavers?

I put all my audiobooks on Plex and I use a specific app on my phone for listening to them.

It's not supported officially and it's janky but it works.
