There are plenty of programs to download as well as online converters. Though most people want to convert FROM Audible proprietary AAX to MP3.

Really it makes more sense to use say Musicolet or similar on a phone than a Kindle eink to listen to music or audio books.
But the online converters SAY they DO respect privacy and don’t keep copies. Could they possibly be lying?

I would like to try such a converter. I don’t listen to audiobooks on my Kindle myself, but I think it would be interest to some people as we see in the OP. I think MP3 converted to AAX files should be much smaller than what you get from Amazon, and you could also convert 3rd party audiobooks. It would be worth knowing what converters are out there. I have all of my Audible purchases converted to M4A (using OpenAudible, also converts to MP3).

However, I have not found anything for Mac other than a couple of them which do far more than I need and cost far more than I’m willing to spend for something that I’m not sure I would do more than once.
