If you already have your own audiobook files, you can self host Audiobookshelf. I self host from my NAS and use the android app while I drive, but you can also listen in your browser as well and it syncs your progress.

I have it and I really like it. All audiobooks that I buy from Audible are downloaded with BookLibConnect and convertet to .m4b with AaxAudioConverter. I can then stream the books with AudioBookShelf.
BookLibConnect and AaxAudioConverter are both Windows only so I have to use a VM but it is still worth it.

One of these days, I will dig into the code and rewrite the GUI to be cross platform.
