I agree with you - if you can only play audiobooks through the apps and the price is the same, you may as well stay with Audible (except for the occasional freebie).
Whenever I've downloaded an audiobook file to my Android phone--Audible, Scribd, Kindle Unlimited--I haven't been able to access the file on the phone to move it to my PC and thence to my Clip Zip. Heck, I haven't even been able to SEE the audio files when I connect the phone to the computer. So I'm assuming that this app will likewise hide the file and make it inaccessible.

I can understand it with KU and Scribd, since with them you clearly know that you're borrowing/renting, not buying, but I'm not paying for something I can't access on my PC and can't use on the device I prefer to use.
