I have monitored the Pac mate list for a while and they most definitely use audible.com files. I know The Bookport can read at least seven file formats and that it's made by APH. It costs $400 and you need a windows computer to load the books. It's not for everyone. Don't let product bias get in the way here. this is important to give the correct info because many will believe this info given and if they determine that they were given wrong info, then you lose another potential braillenote user.
