The program I use (not for audiobooks) is a command line program that you give a start and end point. You can also give it a list of start/end points and it will create multiple files. Of course finding those points requires scanning the file in e.g. a player program.
I personally prefer one that just cuts it in equal length segments. I simply cut them in 3 minute segments. But it's been a while since I've converted my last book (since we moved, I don't listen to audio books anymore that much) so I've no idea what the application was called... I'd have to dig into my application archive...
