Is there any way to download and transfer Audible audiobooks to a USB drive before they're gone?

For bookworms, there is no better place to find their favorite audiobooks than Audible. With the largest collection of audiobooks, Audible enables users to purchase books for download and later enjoy offline listening without a network connection. Yet, Audible restricts playback to its platform and authorized devices. By downloading Audible audiobooks to a USB drive, you can unlock playback on more generic devices. This post reveals a nifty hack for transferring Audible books to a USB stick.
