Ads in audiobooks? Audible has gone to far
There's still a webplayer if you don't want to install additional tools, as well as BookLibConnect for downloading the files and AaxAudioConverter to jailbreak the books and convert them into a format you decide.

aax to MP3
I recently updated AAX Audio Converter, it now offers hints and links to its companion Book Lib Connect. You can see Book Lib Connect as a replacement for the now defunct official Audible App for Win 10. The long term goal is still to integrate Book Lib Connect into a revised AAX Audible Converter, but I don't have found the time for that yet.

Unable to listen offline on computer
And, of course, there is also AAX Audio Converter with its companion Book Lib Connect, to complete the picture of the most popular Free and Open Source tools in this area.

Audible Backup - One big file or a file per chapter?
I split my books not only into chapters but into even shorter tracks, about 5 minutes each. To achieve this, I created AAX Audio Converter (and later the downloader Book Lib Connect as its companion), which has become one of the most popular tools in this field.

Windows 10 App discontinued and will stop working end of this month with NO replacement
Of the Free and Open Source converters to plain audio (motto: "Use any audio player you like"), my little but rather popular AAX Audio Converter was cooperating perfectly with the official Audible app for Win 10, including support for named chapters which came as separate json files. However, AAX Audio Converter still cannot download the books itself. So I started on a downloading option. It was just by chance that I released the first version of Book Lib Connect just the moment in January when Audible announced the discontinuation of their Win 10 app. Book Lib Connect downloads and decrypts your books and also exports them for further processing with AAX Audio Converter with all its many tailoring options. From the perspective of AAX Audio Converter, Book Lib Connect serves as a substitute for the Audible app.

OpenAudible - mp3 or m4b?
First of all, you are aware that there are Free and Open Source alternatives for converting your Audible books to plain audio? One rather popular example is the pair of Book Lib Connect and AAX Audio Converter which I created>! (shameless advertising)!<.

Chapterized Audiobooks
https://github.com/yermak/AudioBookConverter Apparantly this is a good program to use. You should be able to convert them to a single m4b file and it should keep all the chapters intact.

My audiobooks collection. I saw a similar post from another user and I thought about sharing mine.
Audiobook Converter - Takes anything not an M4B and makes it an M4B (and can add some basic metadata to an M4B). For Plex, I've found it useful to have one file for playback vs. all the mp3 files (plus it's a lot cleaner)

Advice on Complex Audiobook
However, I only went through the trouble because I didn't want audio quality to be affected at all (nothing to be encoded again, only removed). If you are not too concerned about audio quality, there is definitely programs out there on Mac that can chapterize files. M4btool is pretty powerful and there is Audiobook converter. I've heard AudioBookBinder might work as well, though I think it is older at this point.

Any way to organise audiobooks?
some audiobooks come in multiple mp3 so i merge a books tracks all into one file to save the headache of adding meta data to sometimes 100s of files for one book. I use https://github.com/yermak/AudioBookConverter to merge mp3s into m4b which I've seen being a standard for audiobook file format but mp3 will also work if you like that extension.
