I think that's a limitation in the open source itunes server that the ReadyNAS uses.
You'll also find it doesn't support home sharing, so it can't be used with iphones or ipads (and at least some generations of apple TV)
Oh and FYI: The format of the audiobooks vary, some of them are .aax (Audible), and some are .mp3.
