I too prefer MP3's, but that just isn't possible for many publishers right now. I stick them on my Clip+, though, and that works for me (can move to any other authorized device, for that matter and can ignore the audible manager after the first download; if you lose a device or it breaks, easy enough to remove the authorization).
The audiobook function on the new Kindle Fire is quite nice (the browser, on the other hand, isn't, nor is the wait time to see your archive or books on the device, if you have a large archive).
