Summary
If you want to convert DRM protected audiobooks to unprotected audio files with chapter kept, this article will bring you the best audiobooks to M4A converter.

iTunes and Audible as the largest audiobook providers, users can get an excellent listening experience through specific players, such as iTunes player, QuickTime, Audible Manager. However, all downloaded audiobooks from iTunes and Audible.com are protected by DRM. This is a technical limitation, and protected iTunes M4B and Audible AA / AAX audiobooks cannot be transferred to MP3 players or car stereos for playback. That's why we need to convert audiobooks to other more popular audio formats.

In general, if you don't mind that every time you open an audiobook you need to start over because of the lack of chapters, then you can convert the DRM-protected audiobook into any common format, such as MP3. But if your audio book is large, then the chapter is very important, because it may end up costing you a lot of precious time to return to the previous playback progress every time. So, how to keep chapters when converting DRM-ed audiobooks?
