Audible on Linux, done properly
Audible has never shipped a Linux desktop app, and the web player only streams. AudiblePort is a native desktop app that runs on Linux just as well as on Windows or macOS: download your library, listen, and convert to MP3 or M4B.

A real Linux app, not a wrapper around a script
AudiblePort ships as an AppImage that runs on most modern x86_64 distributions, and Arch users can install it from the AUR as audibleport-bin. It has the same features as the Windows and macOS versions — no second-class port.
- AppImage for Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, openSUSE, Mint and more
- AUR package: audibleport-bin
- Same features as Windows and macOS
- Self-updates from signed releases
Great with Linux audio setups
Once your books are MP3 or M4B, they work with everything in the Linux world: Cozy, VLC, mpv, Lollypop, or a self-hosted Audiobookshelf, Jellyfin or Plex server on your home lab.
