About the F4B format
M4B is M4A wearing an audiobook badge: the same AAC audio in an MP4 container, plus chapter markers that Apple Books and Audible apps render as a scrubbing timeline. Buy an audiobook outside Audible and it likely arrives as M4B.
The format is deliberately chained to Apple's book ecosystem. Converting M4B to MP3 sets the book free: car stereos, gym players, old iPods and every app without chapter support will play it — though the chapter marks themselves are flattened away.
