where are audiobooks stored on mac in Catalina?

I download audiobooks into the downloads folder, dbl-click to move to Books. Can I then delete the files in the download folder, i.e. are the files copied (duplicated) or just referenced?

MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 10.12

How can I stop the Books App from making another copy of my audiobooks into its library? After many years of using an old 2009 iMac, I recently moved to a newer model running Ventura. I have a bunch of audiobooks I purchased over the years which I had added to my old Mac in m4b format. I just imported all my audiobooks to Books and suddenly I lost 100GB of space in my disk. As it turns out, Books made a copy of every single file into its own library. These are the exact same files! No changes made, just copied them instead of using the original location for the same file. How can I stop this behaviour? In Music App there is a setting to stop Music copying songs to Music library. I do not see this option in Books. Anybody has a trick? I am running out of space on my 1TB disk because MAC OS wants to have two copies of every file :-(.

Wanting to move some audio files off my computer. I am on a 2020 MacBook Pro using Ventura 13.4.1. I have about 250 recordings I made of meetings and imported into my Music Library. I'd like to move them to a separate Hard Drive and then delete them from my Music Library. I'd like the files archived but I don't use them regularly and I'm trying to clear out more space on my computer's hard drive. I've copied a test file to the hard drive and then deleted it from the Library. When I open the file on the separate hard drive to play it, it opens it again in the Music folder to play it. Do I need to convert it to another format first? How do I do this?

Does Monterey support a large library of audiobooks? I've been trying to find out if audiobooks are still a problem with Monterey. I know that in Catalina, audiobooks were forced onto the root drive, so if you had a large library they wouldn't all load when the drive ran out of space (I know, right?). There should be an option to point the Books app to an external drive where the audiobooks are located in the same way as is done for music and videos. Has Apple fixed this blunder? It's becoming urgent for me because I'm likely to upgrade to an M1 this year but won't if I can't bring along my audiobook library.

According to the Mac Observer, it's at ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.BKAgentService/Data/Documents/iBooks/Books

There is no way to have it stored on an external media drive, from what I've been able to tell. And it's a series of folders with random names so there's no way to tell which folder is for a specific audiobook.
