Audible Clips is a feature that allows you to add bookmarks and notes to your Audible books so that you can remember and replay your favorite parts. When you trigger the clip feature, the 30 seconds leading up to your current position is clipped. Clips also provides a nice editing experience, so you can fine-tune the clip.

I've been looking for this capability for years! BUT after Step 1: I do not see the db file that Audible win app uses; and cannot find it in the "Packages" directory you list below. I've searched for "library.db" in Packages - BUT there is nothing there. Is it always a file called "library.db"?
Step 2. ... The app should automatically detect the file that Audible Windows 10 app uses and display them at the left column. (running this does not detect the audible library)
If not loaded, click “Load Audible DB” and navigate to Audible database file which are ususally stored here:
C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Packages\AudibleInc.AudibleforWindowsPhone_xns73kv1ymhp2\LocalState\library.db
(unfortunately - I do not find a file called library.db...)
Hello, thanks for your message.
As Audible has discontinued the Audible app on Windows 10, I'm really sorry that this way may not work anymore.
