Audible format is mostly proprietary and DRM'ed.
It might be worth trolling them just for the titles on sale.

Almost certainly not mp3, or DRM-free.
They might be applocked.

Worth it for the deep discount promos, I suppose.

Can I listen to a book without a network connection? How can I download a book to listen offline?

You can listen to your audiobook purchases offline using the Chirp app.

To download an audiobook to listen without an internet connection, first select the book under “All Books”, and then tap the download icon. Then, simply wait for the download to finish, and the book should appear under the “Downloaded” tab in the app.

Right now, it isn’t possible to listen offline if you’re streaming audiobooks from our website on a Mac, PC, or other device.
