I don't launch the audiobook with Calibre either. Calibre just provides a vehicle to download it to a remote computer, then subsequently I sideload from that computer onto my MP3 player.
In my post above I described the file structure of how I store my audiobooks before I add them into Calibre. There is a reason I store them both inside and outside of Calibre. Calibre provides the download option that I described in the paragraph above. And those downloads are served from Calibre's webserver or from a separate app, Calibre-Web, that access the Calibre database. I mostly use Calibre-Web, because it is much lighter on resources than Calibre is.
But for my audiobook file structure (outside of Calibre), I use both BookSonic (a fork of AirSonic) and Plex servers to stream the audiobooks. I am just experimenting with these other non-Calibre servers now. I currently use AirSonic and Plex to stream my MP3 music files, and I am experimenting with using them to stream audiobooks now.
