I used Libation. It's free, it's open source and it worked great for me

I'm personally a big fan of OpenAudible. It's not free, but it's not crazy expensive and it does all the work for you. You sign into your Audible account in the app, it will pull your library, download each book, decrypt it, and convert it to the format of your choice (I usually do M4B). I've been using it for years and it makes downloading your Audible library in an ongoing basis a breeze.
Not for ripping but to serve your books and for the selfhosters among us use audiobookshelf.
Really great piece of software
Just wanted to give another upvote to audiobookshelf. It's a great audible replacement and allows for local downloading and server syncing. Great project!
Yes! Audiobookshelf is great!
I checked out OpenAudible posted in this topic and it seems interesting, and might be a better choice. But if you're looking to rip your audible files yourself you'll want inAudible: https://github.com/rmcrackan/inAudible
There are other options around, but none of them are as free or as good as inAudible, IMO.
Ripping myself is what I did with Libation as suggested here. You log into your audible account when starting the software for the first time, your libary is shown and you can start to download.
When adjusting the auto tagging then audiibookshelf automatically sorts the stuff in the correct way with series etc.
Perfect combination and totally free.
I think there are probably some that were loaned via audible plus or whatever, but audible says I have 440 audiobooks. Backing up the couple hundred I actually bought would be nice.
