Thank you so much for this! Bound is not free for me, but I downloaded and paid for it (far less than an audiobook or even an ice-cream cone) and discovered that it somehow finds and creates chapter marks without my converting the MP3's. This is brilliant! and SO much better than iBooks, which never identifies chapters. Plus Bound connects with iCloud Drive, so I can just put my Overdrive audio books in folders in iCloud and download them to my phone when I am ready. Much less time consuming than the iTunes route, plus I get bookmarks and chapters.

I noticed that the Bound app had a few complaints in the reviews, people saying that not all parts had downloaded, and that did happen with the first book I tested-- all parts appeared to have downloaded, but only six parts got compiled into a book. So I went back to the cloud, individually selected each part, and clicked "add" again and somehow Bound recompiled the book, with all the parts, but didn't re-download anything. So perhaps one has to kick the tires to get it to work.

I'm so happy!!
