I have a bunch of audiobooks that are downloaded mp3's. What is the best way to load them onto my iphone? On my Android, I transferred the mp3s onto an sd card and then there was a program that would organize them automatically into chapters. Is there something similar for iphone?

Drag them into iTunes. Go go "get info" and change the type from Music to Audiobook. Then, iTunes has a separate tab for Audiobooks and you can select which to sync from there. You can even get a little creative and upload images and you'll see the book on your Music app on you iOS device.

You could also download Audible and in its settings select to pull in audiobooks from your iTunes and it too has a very nice interface with some better options (like customizing skip back and bookmarks).
