Will you be selling your audiobook on your own personal website?

To do this you need to understand a bit about DRM.
DRM stands for Digital Rights Management. Different companies use different methods to execute this but what it boils down to is an attempt to inhibit the transfer of digital media to a party that has not paid for said media.
On most personal website's you will not have the ability to enforce these restrictions. You can sell a M4B, MP3 or Wav version of your audiobook files on your website, but when the listener downloads these files once there is nothing stopping them sharing these files to others. Studies show this is rarely done and if the files are shared it is generally within a small close cirlce.

One way to make this process easier for you and your purchaser is to format your audiobook into an M4B file.
An M4B file is an audiobook most often used by Apple iTunes and Apple Books. It contains audio that is stored in the MPEG-4 format and compressed using AAC encoding. M4B files are nearly identical to M4A files except that they support book-related features, such as chapter breaks and bookmarking. Selling one of these files on your site is far easier for the purchaser as they only need to download one file. An M4B files can be played on a wide variety of applications.
*You may need to offer technical support to those who are not confident using the technology.
