Audible book in iTunes to watch via Garmin Express?

I have some audible books in my iTunes (Windows)s library which I would like to transfer via Garmin Express to my Fenix 6 Solar. All other items in my iTunes library appear on the iTunes section of Garmin Express and can to transferred to the watch.

Unfortunately the listed books do not appear in the audiobook section of Garmin Express.

Any ideas how I might do this?

And perhaps you can't do books since everything on line seems to use "music". See https://www.drmare.com/drm-audiobooks/play-audiobook-on-garmin-gps.html for one method,

All audio books from Audible are DRM encrypted. Apple has a license from Audible to allow iTunes to play Audible audio books that you have purchased from them via the iTunes Store or directly from Audible. If purchased from the iTunes Store they are in effect locked to iTunes and Apple devices. If purchased directly from Audible thay can be played in other places that have an Audible license.

In one of the Garmin Express FAQs it states that Garmin Express and Garmin devices cannot play DRM restricted content. Garmin Express will see that the files have DRM restrictions and ignore them
