I purchased a couple of audio-books at The Pragmatic Bookshelf, and how do I seriously listen to them on my iPhone?

Actually I had a 20% discount voucher, that’s why I got them all at once.
I want to listen to the audio-book on my iPhone and to read the corresponding e-book on my iPad in sync. Makes sense, doesn’t it? That’s my new alternative to binge-watching on the treadmill in the gym. I can imagine to do that in the green as well.
The audio-books come as “.m4b” (a “protected MPEG-4 audio”), or as a ZIP file with “.mp3” (which I unpacked into a directory). They live one of my Synology DiskStations, actually in a “Drive”, that I can see with a Synology app on my iPhone. I can actually navigate into the respective folder using the Files app on my iPhone. The Synology Drive app allows to download the files in question “in place” (in advance, e.g. through my home wifi), so I am not forced to download them through the mobile Internet of my smartphone.
Once I try to “share” an “.m4b” or an “.mp3” to the Books app, the Books app is not available. In other words: the Books app on the iPhone is only good for audio-books purchased through Apple. Isn’t that silly?!? It’s a P.I.T.A., to be honest.
If I “share” the “.m4b” with my VLC on my iPhone, VLC plays the “.m4b” just fine. I can see the TOC (through the triple-point, “Video Options” (never mind!), “Chapters”), and that is certainly a “must” for an “audio book app”. Fine so far.
I am reading “the e-book” on my iPad in the Books app. The Books app on the iPad does not refuse to handle an e-book not acquired through Apple.

how to browse music?
Today resp. just now I found “yet another time …“, that browsing my music library in iTunes / on the iPod / on the iPhone “by genre” is much more fun, then browsing by name on my file system – what a surprise!
Yet I still insist, that my music library has to be kept “by name” on the file system. Quite a contradiction, isn’t it?!? But browsing a huge amount of music, with lots of covers included, that definitely is fun. Have a nice weekend, all of you out there … -
how to log into your iPhone using the root resp. the mobile account with a well-known password
This article on h-online.com helped me to log into my iPhone via ssh for the very first time. Find the instructions especially here! I used it for changing those passwords immediately, and I also created a ~/.ssh/authorized_keys2 for user mobile. Creating one for user root did not work, even “$ man sshd_config” did not help me, I still have to log in using a password.
