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 use the silence finder (set at 3 seconds) in Audacity to find the chapter breaks. I check the breaks, mark the chapter numbers in the label track, then use the export multiple files command.
The drawbacks are the time involved to export the files and the supposed quality loss with re-encoding.
