Play audio books on android?

I'm using plex and Chronicle or Bookcamp as my player. I use AAX Converter and Book lib Connect ( https://github.com/audiamus/AaxAudioConverter ) to convert the few books I purchased on Audible. Plex Can play the monolithic file that is an option in AAX Converter, but I have had fewer issues converting into chunks separated by chapter.

Author of Libation here. Sorry you're having trouble. Apple wants us to pay an annual fee to be on their safe list. I have neither the money nor inclination to pay for their protection scam. Here is help for installing on Mac. If you're still having trouble, please open a ticket here and we'll be glad to help.
