Move away as in find another audiobook vendor? Or simply retain access to your existing collection?

Audiobooks from Audible can be downloaded via the UI. They will have DRM, but it's possible to remove.

If you have audiobook files without DRM you can listen to them via any app that plays audio, but there's also at least one OSS project that aims to fill audiobook UI niche [1].

+1 for Audiobookshelf, truly one of the most functional and polished apps I self-host, despite being relatively niche.
