The playbook

  1. 1

    Audit Your Chirp Purchases

    Open Chirp app → Your Library or Purchase History. Note books you've bought. Chirp books are DRM-locked; you'll source elsewhere.

  2. 2

    Export or Screenshot Your Chirp Library

    Take screenshots of titles. Chirp doesn't have bulk export. List is reference for finding books elsewhere.

  3. 3

    Check Libby for Your Books (Free Library)

    For each Chirp title: Search Libby app. Borrow as EPUB. Many Chirp books are available free via library.

  4. 4

    For Classics: Use Project Gutenberg

    Chirp frequently discounts classics. Search Gutenberg for free versions.

  5. 5

    For Modern Books: Purchase DRM-Free

    If not in Libby/Gutenberg, buy DRM-free from Smashwords, author websites, or indie publishers.

  6. 6

    Download EPUBs and Organize

    Collect EPUB files in ~/Downloads/chirp-migration.

  7. 7

    Import to Morph

    Open Morph app → Library → '+' → 'Import from Files' → Select EPUBs → Batch import.

  8. 8

    Enable TTS on Imported Books

    Open book → Speaker icon → Choose voice and speed.

  9. 9

    Test Synced Read-and-Listen

    Toggle 'Read + Listen' ON. Chirp is listen-only; synced is 20-30% faster.

  10. 10

    Calculate Total Savings

    Chirp: ~$2.99/book × 12 books/year = $36/year (if buying 1/month). Morph: $7.99/month = $95.88/year. If buying 20+ books/year on Chirp, Morph saves money.
