How to Copy Audible Books to USB

Part 1. Can I Copy Audible Books to USB?

Yes, you can copy Audible books to a USB drive for backup. However, when you download your Audible audiobooks to your computer, the books are often in AAX (Audible Enhanced Audiobook) or AA (Audible Audio) format, both of which are DRM-protected. This DRM protection comes with certain limitations:

While these formats work well with Audible's apps and devices like portable Audible players, copying Audible audiobooks to a USB flash drive can pose compatibility challenges. They still have DRM protection, which means they may not work on devices that do not natively support the AA or AAX format, such as your car.
