This works only for drm-free ebooks and audiobooks?

That's correct; it requires the ability to analyze the actual contents of the ebook and audiobook, so they can't be locked down with DRM. This is unfortunately pretty limiting, but at least for audiobooks, online stores like libro.fm have pretty massive catalogues of DRM-free audiobooks!
