Even if you manage to jailbreak your device and install an audiobook player (it's called SOX) then your user experience won't be good because the UI is very minimalistic.

Did you already try the VoiceView feature?
Playing audiobooks directlyin a Kindle/in the Kindle app + Whispersynch allows one to seamlessly continue with either the audiobook or reading when both matching versions of a book (e-book + Audible/audiobook) are bought.

But you are right that this is often more practical on a phone, so my recommendation would be to use Amazon's quite generous allowanced to download most of your content to up to 6 devices. With this it is still possible to use a Kindle or a bigger device for reading mainly but still synch with a much more portable device when listening to an audiobook.
