Depending exactly what you're trying to do mp3tag is a great tool for just managing metadata directly. The Plex Audiobook Guide has some handy tools for mp3tag that allow you to download info directly from audible.
If you want to go the next step and manage and host all your books, I would recomend Audiobook Shelf rather than Plex. It's under very active development and is designed with audiobooks in mind, rather than trying to fit them into a music ordering system. It also has great built in tools for managing book metadata too.
I use Libation to save everything locally. If you tweak the setting you can have pretty useful folder names like Author - series number series - book name. Then I copy it to my phone and use Smart Audiobook Player.
