I recently found the Voice Audiobook Player for Android on the google play store[1][2]. Point it to a folder and it looks in there for audiobooks, one per subfolder, and keeps track of which ones you've read and where you are in each one.

No signup, no ads (albeit maybe analytics and crash telemetry), GPL3 code, fairly minimal and keeps audiobooks away from messing up music playlists or from podcast app complexity. Haven't used it enough to give a full review, but it seems exactly what I wanted and good for Libribox book downloads.

For lectures on youtube there are Firefox extensions.

aww man, this is so frickin cool. i just set this up, and its amazing. i really needed this for audiobooks. thank you! <3

I use an app called "Voice" [1] on Android for audiobooks. I'm so used to it that any other app or way to consume audiobooks seems below par.

I don't really use audible, but if you looking for good audio player on Android here is one that can do this:
