OpenAudible
OpenAudible is a cross-platform audiobook manager for the audible audiobook and podcast service.
Setup
The software can be setup via installation files for Windows, Mac and Linux that are available on the official website. Linux distributions may aswell feature a package.
After the installation the user has to connect OpenAudible with Audible.
The Connect to Audible button is available under the Controls tab.
Usage
This section describes various topics regarding the usage of OpenAudible.
Downloading, Converting and Splitting Audiobooks
To download, convert or split an audiobook first make sure OpenAudible is connected with Audible as
described in the setup section.
Also a library sync can be useful if the target audiobook doesn't show up in the list at the bottom
of the window.
A sync can be started by pressing the Quick Audible Library Sync button under the Controls tab.
To download locate the audiobook in the list of audiobooks, right-click it and select Download.
After the download it can be converted to .mp3 or .m4b by selecting the corresponding option in
the right-click menu.
The same way the audiobook can be split.
Licensing and Avoiding It
OpenAudible is a licensed product. The first year after installation the new versions can be downloaded and used without charge. However the versions that come out after this year are subject to the purchase of a license to use them. This means that the last version that was released before the end of the first year can be used indefinitely. This effectively lets the user use all features like converting and splitting audiobooks that are otherwise bound to a valid license.
