Download Audible by Parts & Split Audible into Chapters

Is your device limited by available storage? Or are you troubled by the large Audible files and looking for a way to split them into multiple parts? Today, here we are going to share you with 2 methods to download your Audible audiobooks in multiple parts and split them into chapters.

• Method 1. Download Audible by Parts [Official Method]
• Method 2. Split Audible into Chapters [Best Method]

Method 1. Download Audible by Parts [Official Method]

Audible has offered us an official way to change the settings from downloading our audiobooks in single parts to downloading as multiple parts. This setting can be changed in the Audible site, the Audible app for iOS/Android, and the Audible Windows 10 Microsoft app. 

Notice: If the audiobook is under 12 hours it will only be available as a single part download. It cannot be downloaded in multiple parts. If you want to split your shorter-than-12-hours Audible audiobooks by chapters, go ahead with Method 2. 

To change your settings to download your audiobooks in multiple parts, follow these steps:

(1) For the Audible website: 

Go to http://www.audible.com/lib or click "Library" on the Audible desktop site. Find the books you want to download, and hover your mouse cursor over "Download". Next, click the "Part" you'd like to download.

(2) For Audible Android/iOS app:

Open the Audible app on your device. Tap the "Profile" icon in the upper left corner of the app screen >> Tap the "Gear" icon in the top right corner >> Tap "Data & Storage" >> Scroll download to "Download By Parts" >> Select the "Multi-Part" setting.

(3) For Audible Windows 10 app:

Open the Audible Windows app. Tap the "Menu" button >> Tap "Settings" >> Tap "Downloads" >> Tap the button under "Download your library by parts" to change the download by parts setting.

Method 2. Split Audible into Chapters with Audible Converter [Best Method]

By following Method 1, you can download your Audible into multiple parts. However, there still exist many problems with the official method 1. At first, shorter-than-12-hours audiobooks cannot be downloaded in multiple parts. Secondly,  you cannot customize the settings, such as splitting the audiobooks according to selected length and certain segments. Lastly but most importantly, they are still saved as AAX format, with which you cannot play your Audiobooks on your MP3 player. 

So here comes the best method - split Audible audiobooks into chapters with a professional Audible Converter, which can solve all the problems mentioned above.

Step 1. Download your Audible audiobooks to the computer from the Audible site. It has been mentioned in Method 1. Just download the title in a single part. You will get an AAX file.

Step 2. Download and run Epubor Audible Converter.

Click the "Option" button at the end of the each book title, where you can split your Audible audiobooks into chapters, average time length, and certain segments. If you want to apply your option to all Audible books, just tick "Apply to all".

Step 5. Convert Audible books to MP3.

Choose MP3 as the output format. Then just click "Convert to MP3" and the conversation begins. If you want to convert Audible AAX to M4B, you can also set M4B as the output format.

After converting, you can click the bottom-right blue folder to find your split Audible audiobooks. Now they are saved in MP3 format.

Remove DRM from Google Play Books with Calibre

Google Play Books is one of the most popular ebook providers in the world, which offers a large number of titles for us to choose from. We can read the Google Play books with an app, or in the online built-in reader. But it's not that easy to transfer Google Play Books to some other ebook readers such as Kindle, Kobo, or Nook, because most Google Play Books are protected with DRM. To have full control of your books purchased from Google Play, it's high time to remove the DRM. 

Today I would like to share with you a full guide on how to remove DRM from Google Play Books with Calibre and DeDRM plugin. It's totally free. 

Step 1. Download Google Play Books to your computer

Visit your Google Play Books library in a browser. Find "My Books", select a book, click the three-dots button in the corner, and then "Export".

Then a window will pop up asking to choose "Export ACSM for EPUB" or "Export ACSM for PDF". (What you will get is a .acsm file. ACSM files are not real ebook files and they should be opened with Adobe Digital Editions to download to EPUB or PDF.)

Step 2. Open ACSM Google Play Books with Adobe Digital Editions

Now download and run Adobe Digital Editions. The first time you open the program, you need to authorize it with an Adobe ID. 

After authorizing, please drag the ACSM files to add them to the Adobe Digital Editions library. It will take some few seconds for downloading the content. When it's finished, you will see your books in the library.

Now the Google Play books should be in PDF or EPUB format. You can find the PDF/EPUB Google Play books here:

For Windows: C:\Users\Your Username\Documents\My Digital Editions

For Mac: \Users\username\Documents\Digital Editions

Step 3. Run Calibre and add DeDRM Plugin to Calibre

First, download Calibre and the DeDRM_tools.zip to the computer first. Then please please unzip the DeDRM_tools.zip to get the DeDRM_plugin.zip file.

Now run Calibre. Click the “Preference” at the top menu bar.

In the pop-up Preference window, find "Plugins" and click it.

Then click"Load plugin from file", next just select the DeDRM_plugin.zip you've downloaded. 

Follow the procedure and you'll find the DeDRM plugin is displayed under the "File Type" option.

Step 4. Add ePub/PDF Google Play Books to Calibre

When the DeDRM plugin has been added to Calibre successfully, now we can start removing the DRM from Google Play books. 

First, please click "Add books" at the upper-left corner and then find your ePub/PDF Google Play books to add them to Calibre.

If they are added to Calibre successfully, it means the DRM has been removed. Otherwise, you will be told "This book has DRM".

If you have met with this issue, try to add the DeDRM plugin to Calibre again. Or you can try a much easier-to-use and more reliable software called Epubor Ultimate. With this powerful tool, there is no need to add the DeDRM plugin, and your Google Play books can be automatically detected by this tool, which means you don't have to find them by yourself. What you only need to do is to just drag them from the left to the right main window. Then the DRM can be removed in a second.
