The whole point of Libation is to create a DRM-Free, archival, copy of your Audible library. To do that, it must remove the DRM and "convert" the file to M4B (or MP3 if you insist). The M4B format is essentially the same as the .aax/.aaxc format, but with the DRM removed. If all you want to do is listen to your books using the Audible application, you don't need Libation. If you want to archive your books and remove the DRM, you do.
I was trying to test it out with a few new books from Audible UK; that was the only account I set it up to use. And it did see all the books in that account--from the online account itself, not what was on my computer. I just couldn't figure out what to do from that point, since it wouldn't recognize they were downloaded, or re-download them. I never reached the point of trying to convert them, or otherwise try to use any library management options.

I went back to aaxtomp3 to convert and will continue to use my own spreadsheet and file system for audiobook library management.

It's too bad that Calibre doesn't have a plug-in that would read metadata and covers from Audible. That option would make it really useful.
