Listening to Audiobooks on your Garmin

It's liberation time, my 1100+ audiobook (all that I paid for) are getting safely backed up.
Author of Libation here. Sorry this is confusing. If you're on windows, go here and click on the link for windows, for example: Classic-Libation.10.4.3-windows-classic.zip. This will download a zip file. To unzip, right click and "extract all". Go into this new folder and double click Libation.exe which is the one with the black wine glass icon. We recently created a walk-through which will run on first launch. I recommend it as it can clarify some of the more confusing points.
Link to Libation for those asking.
Sounds like a bug. I hesitate to say how to fix this issue with the usual means since it's already in a not usual condition. If you'd like to open a ticket here, we can help.

Long term relationship ending. Downloading my books that we bought on his account via audible. What do I do now to ensure I can listen to them?
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.

Adding Audiobooks and Old Time Radio Shows to Plex
Do you have a link to this? My workflow has me using this program to connect to and download books from audible and convert/tag them. I think it works great but if you have something better, I am always happy to try other options.

Ads in audiobooks? Audible has gone to far
There is a free PC program that works great too, https://github.com/audiamus/AaxAudioConverter
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.

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.

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.
