If you want to enjoy all these audiobooks without limit, you just need to subscribe to the premium plan. Though it's convenient for streaming audiobooks, you have to pay a lot of money.

Part 1. Why You Need to Rip Audible to MP3
Audible is a streaming service like Spotify and Apple Music. You have to subscribe to the premium plan to enjoy the service. When you are a premium user, you can download the audiobooks for offline playing, but only available during the subscription period. Once the subscription ended, you won't be able to listen to the downloaded audiobooks since the downloaded audiobook files are encrypted AA/AAX/AAXC files. These encrypted files can only be decrypted by Audible, so you won't be able to play them without its app.
And sometimes you find your subscription expires in just a few days, but you haven't finished listening to your audiobooks yet, so you have to keep paying the high subscription fees. To avoid these annoying issues, you may need to rip Audible audiobooks to MP3 for removing the playback limits. But how to do it? Actually, it's not rocket science.
