When I click the download button at the Audible web page, it opens a little window that is labeled Audible Downloads. The audiobook starts to download, showing a status bar.

That's the Download Manager.

There's no time in the process when I actually use Audible Manager, nor do I do anything with Windows Media Player.

Even if you don't use WMP, watch what the download manager is actually saying. After the d/l finishes it writes the digital usage rights to your PC. On my PC it says "adding file to Windows Media Player." Even if it doesn't say that it is copying the rights to your PC. This is why if you get a new PC and copy all of the .aax files to your new PC, even after logging into your account with Audible Manager, these files will be useless. You have to re-do the download from Audible for them to work.

If Audible eliminates the option to download from the web page directly, then there's a huge problem.

That's exactly what they are doing. RIP Audible.
