In the navigation of the Audible site, click "Library" option and then click "Titles". Then you can find all Audible audiobooks you bought in your library. Find the audiobooks you want to download and then click "Download" button.
After the download is finished, you will get an AAX file. Just select a folder where you would like to save the Audible file.
If you are using MacOS 10.14.6 Mojave or earlier, the downloaded AAX files can be opened with iTunes and will be saved in the Audiobooks section of iTunes.
If you are using MacOS Catalina or Big Sur, the downloaded Audible books can be imported to Apple Books and will appear in the Audiobooks section of Apple Books. (Since the release of MacOS 10.15 Catalina, Apple has transitioned from iTunes to Apple Books.)
Method 2: Download Audible Books via AudibleSync App (Windows 10/11)

If you can see the "Download" button, click on it. Once the downloading completes, the download button will disappear. Downloaded files will be in .aax format and stored at AudibleSync\downloads folder.

It is a little bit suspicious that your Epubor download link address an older version, is it a FULL (cracked) version or a TRIAL?
And the official site has an updated Epubor version named [Epubor Ultimate], is your choice if you want the trial or pay for the FULL version.
The section about downloading to a PC, references the old software that is not functional anymore (gives an error saying basically that you can't download anymore.

Hello,
I have an update. I think it has to do with the operating system we are using. I've been trying this on my Windows 7 machine, and whenever I hover over the "Download" button, I can see it's pointing to: /howtolisten
I'm guessing because the browser send the information of my operating system and there is no good way to play it on it.
I tested it then on my Linux machine, and it works fine. Same account, same day. On Firefox on my Ubuntu, I am able to download the axx files by clicking on the same button.
I hope this will help others.
-open the desktop version of the Audible library (on iPhone, hold down the "reload" arrow in the title bar, no idea for Android)
-copy the link behind the Download button
-send it to your PC via mail or whatever
To get the whole content of the audible book, you need to use the licensed version. You are welcome to purchase the license of Audible converter: https://www.epubor.com/audible-converter.html
The Audible book file on my Android 9 device is not .aax, it is .aaxc
Your program does not recognize the format. For giggles, after I copied it over to the Win10 box, I renamed it to .aax no joy.
Thoughts?
Any more problem, please feel free to let us know.
