Hi Karen -- Unfortunately I have never tried it from Linux and just use my iPhone for Audible. So from that perspective I'm not at all helpful. But your question got me curious so I started looking into it. If I listen to Audible on Linux I just fire up a browser and go into their web interface, but I rarely do that. So again, I don't have any practical experience of actually downloading the audio files locally and outside of iTunes.
